Default Re: My 25NL Adventure/Pilgrimage

Fim, truly first-class post. I would like to add that reading through the post, I found a grasp for a particular mode of thinking that needs to be applied to 6max NL games.

While the specifics may apply directly to small-stakes games, the method of thinking and the concepts are excellent for many levels of 6max NL.

I especially like the emphasis of blocking bets on the river, and buying the pot off of another drawer for a decent price. I think a huge part of 6max (and more short-handed) play at any level is getting a good price to buy pots; a huge portion of your profits can come from this simple strategy. It's also huge in the metagame; your opponents will not know how to read your small river bets (was he drawing? Does he have a pair? Is there a monster hiding in there? Geez, I better not try to bluff this one...).

As Doyle said in Super System, you won't BELIEVE all the times where your bet is just screaming for a call, and they'll fold.
