As I said, it is a beginner's article, but there are some beginners lurking out here.

calling a raise? Bleh i'd say the biggest error would be calling down after turn raises in small pots.

Maybe even in medium sized pots.

I dont preach weaktight, But when a guy raises the turn in 6max... You're hand better be decent or you have a good read on him to continue.

[Wynton]

No, I think the pf error is "bigger" because it comes up more often, and dramatically affects the chances of winning the hand.

But I agree, calling that turn raise is often pretty bad too, at least at lower limits.

[POKhER]

Well depends what they call with i guess, Calling with 22 sure.

Calling with KJo and stuff? Not a huge problem.

Imho the biggest leak one can have in 6-max is not to valuebet relentlessly.
