New to 6-max, need a little help

PureNHL · #1 07-09-2007, 02:56 PM

I've been playing poker for a while and studying a lot in these forums, posting when I can find the time. I'm fairly new to 6-max and I'm looking for some advice to help my game. I played full ring a lot during the winter and ended up with stats around 22/7 stealing around 31% of the time. Since I've moved to 6-max I've tightened up (!?) becoming 15/10 but now only stealing 22% of the time. Posted below are my stats.

Am I too much of a nit for 6-max right now? Thanks for your help guys.

15/10 is pretty tight in my book. I might try to loosen it up a bit, especially from late position.

Low sample size? I'm not sure. Is my went to SD percentage in proportion or no? EDIT: Also my flop AF seems way high. Is this something that I can expect to see exploited at some point?

Do you suggest raising pretty much any two from CO/BUT?

Raise and get more involved in position. Your agg factor probably accounts for you won without showdown being good.

I feel you maybe too betting hard and losing some value. Steal more, and try a few more move from button it looks like you dont have a problem getting players folding so exploit that!

Oh and raise hands that you are comfortable raising form the button not just cos someone else recommends. Just loosen up you raising range from button until you find a balance will help with image too.

You should loosen up in 6 max and raise more, not tighten up. Looks like you could raise more in late position, try raising with suited connectors, suited one gappers etc. and see how you do. Most of the stats seem fine for this kind of style though.

Recently changed from FR myself lol, I've got to 19/14 but it's taken work - I'm raising some suited connectors in position which is an odd feeling at first, nearly all PP's and busting a gut to pretty much never call, only a suited connector or PP under perfect circumstances. I found a post "help me become 22-16" somewhere when I was struggling but can't remember where (should be a sticky if it isn't). If I think of where I'll post it.

Yeah, I'd appreciate it if you found it. Probably could only do me good.

As far as hands I'm raising in the CO/BUT I've been using this as a guideline: any PP, Axs, 23s+, 56o+ and A9o+ including any two royals. Maybe add Kxs and suited 1-gappers to begin to gradually loosen up? I've tried to make it a habit of continually attacking someone's blinds when they aren't defending them no matter which two cards they have, as well as slowing up when I feel I'm being 3-bet light (which I feel is happening more than it should).
