I like 6-max so far. [3 low content hands]

milesdyson · #1 04-30-2005, 11:28 PM

Would it be wrong to say I love it? It's insane, I'm becoming insane, and I want to make love to most of the players who play it. Entity posted a while ago (I think it was him) that you should all clear bonuses at 1/2 6-max. I agree.

So I'm sLA-A at 30/20/2.4 (2k hands - this will inevitably change I think?) and feel super confident at these tables. I think I am destined to lag it up.

Preflop: Hero is SB with TT.

Lucky [censored]. I've had TT seven times in the last two hours at 6-max. Won once. Variance is a bitch goddess.

I moved to 6max a few days ago and dropped 50 BB in one day. It sucked hardcore. I had so many beautiful starting hands, would miss the flop and constantly get check-raised. From the play I saw these games should be great, I just need to build the roll a little more to withstand the variance of those tables. It's insane.

ArturiusX · #6 04-30-2005, 11:50 PM

Sigh Miles, I was just about to post my own thread about how much 6max players suck.

Seriously, the [censored] stupid calls made today boggles me. I know longer make crying river calls, because I know Im probably good (and most of the time are).

A nice $30 pot won by high card, Ace. I'm getting over 65:1 on this river call. This happens a lot and it is +EV to take advantage of the extra knowledge you can get from someone on a short stack.

well it took me a few thousand hands to get a feel for it, I was around 20.5/12.5 for a while, it was a little colddeck .. but some timidness

nowadays I'm upto about 24/15 which is more stressful at times but more profitable

after I finish the pokernow bonus, I plan on switching to 2/4 sitting at tables with 2-5players and leaving when it gets 8handed unless its a really soft table
