A lesson in kickers

As for prefering 6-4 to ace 6 , I suppose it is a question of preference but personally according to my stats , I make more money with ace 6 than I do with 6-4 .

I can't really imagine making more with A6 than 64 (I'm talking both off-suit) in deep, semi deep NL. I would assume that you tend to (wrongly) apply different amounts of pressure post-flop once you don't hit with any of these two hands, and obviously 64 is more of a stack-off hand (as much as I hate this term) for when you do hit.

Perhaps you consider also stages in SNGs where you are not deep anymore, and that's where A6 is surely better than 64, but that's not what I'm speaking about here.

I may side with you if you had taken another example such as the aforementioned example .

Well concealment plays a great part in hu nl (nl at large), so you can think of many examples of half-connected "trash" hands worth more than, for instance, all kinds of aces kings and queens with bad kickers. And also, generally, kickers may play a relatively small part in NL, as opposed to limit.

And Of course, it all depends deeply on your particular opponents.
