6 Max Basic strategies

[Lunatunez]

That's why I recommended that each table is a very different set of rules, there is no cover all strategy for short-handed, neither for full ring, but you have to know that you can't just play good looking hands short-handed, it gets more dirty the less people you have. Hell, playing heads up is like neanderthals fighting with billy clubs.

A lot of what you wrote was incorrect. OP start with the faq.

I think we must play in different games. Most of the 6-max games I find from 2/4 to 5/10 tend to be loose passive and it's not unusual to see moer than 50% of hands be four-handed or more.

I also find that if I am doing a lot of raising and reraising, that tends to loosen the game up even more.

And then the games denegerate into high variance lotteries . . . in which its only a matter of time before you go on spew

You are being harsh on lunatunez. He wrote some things that really apply to 6-max games. I seriously agree about the river, it's really important to value but or value check here. Read the board, think to yourself with what kind of hands will this opponent call and what is the possibility he has one of these hands and check or bet for value.Every time, over and over again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He seems to be implying that not limping in with premium hands and not cold calling are adjustments that need to be made from full ring which is ridiculous. Suggesting that A7 is a regular threebetting hand is terrible.

that part is terrible [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
