If I have a three flush I play like i've got it even if i've limped in from the BB with 23 - i play like i've won the hand, and will only...

Re: Hypothetical hand question
Bet it, see what he does.
But this is the problem when you limp in with marginal hands - you give yourself tough decisions post-flop. Here you have top pair with middle-kicker, a classic dilema....

Re: 6max vs. full ring
Abreu has made a fine point.
I myself get drawn into "oh sh*t" poker (calling when I feel i probably shouldn't be) against a guy making cool-headed re-raises.

Re: 6max vs. full ring
It works for me because i'm pretty aggressive.
Aggression is getting more and more neccesary from earlier positions in my opinion - especially as far as unopened pots go.
I just find it easier...
