Default Re: PF hand strength, guidance required

I can't imagine using a list, but if it's a good preflop strategy, then it can't hurt to use it. I just go by feel. I knew preflop strategy for 10 handed games, and over time I've learned 6max by feel. In 6max, high card strength is very important in hand selection. Implied odds hands are not as valuable in this game.

Exactly, and hence my need for a chart. Deciding which of 3 actions to take when 1st in from the SB is a much larger part of this game. As is the decision of how to respond to steals from late raisers or the SB when in the BB. And we all have our limits per position when doing our own stealing. Like most winning players I'm comfortable with my pre-flop decisions in a full ring game with lots of multi-handed pots. I was taken back to see that 77 rises from 34th 6-way to 9th heads-up. Or that JTs is 19th best in a 6-handed pot but only 46th heads up. That's far less pre-flop strength than I've been bargaining for. And believe it or not, I'm not that bad!
