I just moved to the 3/6 in the past few days. I've been playing at the PokerRoom 2/4 for a while and finally cleared all my bonuses on that network and I hate the rake and for some reason I spew at 5max tables.

I've noticed a lot of aggression at the 3/6. Guys won't hesitate to 3 bet you preflop with a mid pocket pair and continue betting when there's overcards on the flop. Try not to get too caught up in the aggression, it's easy to start going crazy against some maniac with something like middle pair to find out he actually did have something this time.

I usually pay a lot of attention to PAHud and see what these guys are showing down, try to take lots of notes for the first few orbits, it helps with your overall read i've found.

I'm sure you'll get lots of better info, and I look forward to it as well.

Good luck at the tables, hopefully you'll find guys like this

3/6 is more aggressive. I remember when I first got there I couldn't believe the kinds of wild bluffs some people pulled. And stick with it. Don't loss 100BB and think you suck and drop down. 3/6 isn't that much harder then 1/2

I've noticed a few more TAGs, but it's usually easy to stay out of their way while fishing

5/10 is also exactly the same as 3/6 (I actually find it softer), just with a higher bankroll req. So once you feel you have mastered 3/6 will the roll, don't hesitate to move up.

Table selection is the name of the game. A great player with poor table selection will fare worse than an average player with great table selection.
