Default Re: Six Max Baby Steps

I disagree with you there, too. If you're on the button with 22, and there are two limpers to you in a 6 max game, limping yourself is AOK, just like full ring. Limping 22 UTG in a full ring game is +EV because you are typically guaranteed an appropriate number of callers. However, if it's folded to you in MP2, open-limping 22 is no longer a good plan. You're less likely to get a good number of limpers along with you.

You are correct, however, in that your average aggression stats will go up relative to your full ring play. You get to be more aggressive in marginal situations because they are more likely to be profitable when there are already fewer people. Don't forget, though, that if you find yourself against few opponents in a full ring game again with a marginal holding, you should be considering the same things about the value of your hand as you would in a 6 max game.
