Is there any other part of it that doesn't just stink up the room?

Preflop Raise and potting the flop where fine.
I would need a serious read to continue after being checkraised. I think you have to give them credit for atleast a king here until they've proven otherwise.

This is the type of [censored] that cost me 6 buyins when I moved to 6max. I went to far with marginal hands, never believed I was beat though it was painfully obvious that I was, ie, I played like a donk. What worked for me was just playing my same nitty FR game at 6max until I slowly got more comfortable with marginal situations.

Thanks AZ, this is exactly how I see it. I just need to get control and play that game again. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's gone through this kind of transformation trying to adapt to shorthanded play. Much appreciated.

Im pretty sure I told you to keep being a nit when you switched to 6max until you got more comfortable with it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm mixed on this. About 60% of the time I check behind on the flop and then battle it out on the turn.

The rest of the time I fire a bet out right away, but would insta-muck to the minraise. If you call the raise, what's the plan? A ton of cards kill you (K,A), (8,3 for straight draw). Plus, he's shown aggression with the minraise, and you probably won't get a cheap showdown. With few draws on the board, he probably has a King with a decent kicker or 2-pair.



This thread feels a lot like the KK on an Ace board thread I've read before.

(Though admittedly, people are a lot more likely to hold Ax than Jx, and the Jack is more vulnerable than KK).
