$6.5 Stars AKs AJs ATs AKo

Three hands: I'm fairly confident that the laydown was correct in all three spots, though I'm having doubts about the second one, and I am wondering a bit if I'm giving people too much credit in the $6.5s, so I'd like some reassurances that I'm right (or kicks in the butt telling me how stupid I was to fold those hands).

1: i guess it looks fine you prob need to make that re-raise out of the sb.
2: i'm probably mucking AJ here half the time and raising to 250 the other half. i guess since it's soooted it looks good [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
3: standard
4: also way standard.

in general, when u get past the 25/50 stage, i'd recommend moving to a 2.5x the bb raise, saves chips for when a guy with like 1100 comes over the top of you and you don't get pot stuck with a mediocre ace

1. In a 6.50 I find it very hard to let this go, seriously people just refuse to fold AQ and AJ enough to make this a call.
2. fold or shove if everyone behind is nitty.
3. easy fold
4. It's tough. I'm obv a fish and think AK is teh nuts but don't forget, people suck.

1. I would just call preflop. As played fold.

2. Raise only 250 and fold to the reraise

3. turbo fold

4. standard I think

#1 don´t reraise AK OOP. Just call pf. As played fold to the push.

#2 raise to t275 and fold to the push

#3 you´re not doing well against UTGs range. fold.

#4 fold
