Default Re: Played my 1st 6max.. OMG I\'m a Lag?! 30/20

[ QUOTE ]
i know at 6max, i need to be looser than 12% vpip, so i raised 4BB with the following in any position if i'm 1st in the pot:
Ax
any 2 face cards
KXs
any connectors and one offs
any suited connectors up to 2 off
any pair

[/ QUOTE ]

Throw out A2-A9 and the "any two broadways". They are just crud.
I would suggest playing KXs, AXs, sc's/ssc's only from last 2 positions (CO/BU) since when you hit a draw, they are much much harder to play profitably out of position. Though you can play AXs from EP too if you know how to play them, but people don't so through it out from EP.

I would suggest from first 2 opening positions (UTG/MP) if you are first in, raise AJo+/KQo+/pairs (and you can add KJs and maybe other suited broadways depending on the table)
From last two positions, add AXs/sc's/ssc's/any two suited broadways
From button you can add KXs and suited-2-gappers and any two offsuit broadways, but anywhere else you are asking for trouble a lot of the time.

Most importantly, be positionally aware and play less hands from early positions and more from late positions where you have an enormous advantage post flop. Draws in particular are completely different oop compared to being in position. And don't play crud from EP like TKo.
