Thanks

Thanks for reading this thing. Thanks for responding to my hands. Got some freee time today and put in a 3 hour 6 tabling session where I played 17/13/4. I was quite snug preflop but did manage to 3bet 5% and get some decent action. I am still adjusting to 6 tabling while trying to table select well. Like my growth in 6 max I think my game is regressed to my more nitty style which I feel is still very profitable. I iamgine I will slowly open up as I become more and more familiar and adjusted to 6 tabling. I still manage some decent reads.

Hand 1: Please please rip me a new one for saying this but can I find a fold here? I honestly knew I was going to see a made hand more times then AK and reality is I dont think this guy spew jams 66-99 or Axs. Thus I have him square on TT+ and AK+. Is folding that bad when reality calling is like 98% a flip vs TT+. By the way villain 33/24/3.9 over 169 hands. Obv I am being results oriented.

Hand 2: Is getting QQ in here a spew? Guy seemed like a weird nitty raiser yet semi loose caller. 24/12/4 AP style. Is flatting my best option and then getting it in on non A/K flops best. or should I flat and play semi cautiously?

Hand 3:Value towning myself. I like my DB as I think his one pair hands 55-88 will usually call again. The river is a check reeval imo. I think I playesd this hand perfect vs 18/15/12 (691)

Hand 1: Never ever ever fold. Judging by his stats and shove, I think you must always call the bet. I think AA and KK raise smaller most of the time (though this could be poor thinking), because they want action. Played it fine.

Hand 2: Flatting and getting it all in seems fine, especially since he has 75 BBs and is not a full stack, and that is the line I probably take. I don't think getting it in pre is bad either though, if you think he will get AK and JJ AIPF.

Hand 3: Played perfectly. The river is a tough spot if he bets. I would expect this type of player to drive his draws, even on a paired flop, so if he bets the river, I am probably mucking.

Hand 4: I don't like a raise on the turn. My experience at least with flop donk leads is that they are generally weak. I am not really sure if this is also true on the turn to be honest. He donk lead the flop as well, so I doubt he is too strong. I think a turn raise here pushes out sooooooo many hands you want to stay in the pot. I think you played it perfectly.

1: Standard

2: I don't 4b QQ unless it's a guy I'm doing a lot of 3b battles with. I flat here and play the hand.

3: Standard

4: NH GG

Hand 1: Why would you ever even consider folding this? Even if we know he has JJ 100% of the time it's an easy call. I have no idea why this is posted - stop being mental.

Hand 2: I think this is poor. He sounds pretty passive preflop, and he makes a tiny 3-bet to your MP raise. Plus you're 140BBs deep. Call 100% of the time preflop.

Hand 3: I would actually value bet the river here as well. He'll call with 9x almost always, and will level himself into calling with 88-55 sometimes too.

Hand 4: I would probably raise the tuen, although being deep makes it harder as you might not be thrilled to get it in. There's likely a lot of Tx hands in his donking range though, so it's good to try and get more money in on the turn.

Oops, hand 2 was 70BBs. I still prob flat preflop.

HAND 3 IS A BET YOU NITS!!! I wouldn't fancy trying to bluff someone off 9x on that river, therefore I think they'll call 9x a lot, therefore we should bet as we beat 9x. If we check and he bets it's the easiest fold ever - he always has a hand by the river, and he never bets worse for value.
