Villain is 36/17/3 over 120 hands, no reads. What's you line here with villains limp/3bet? Do we call or 4-bet him? If we 4-bet him how much?

Interesting. Have you been squeezing/raising limpers/stealing much and do you think he'd be observant enough to notice?

I doubt whether he would notice chuck, my style has been standard TAG of 15/10/3 which is quite nitty for 6 max tbh.

I've always been crap at 6-MAX, but what does his C/O limp, reraise mean ? Have you been pounding on limpers very often from the BB ?

Very read-dependant, but calling gives away a lot of strength from you hand, leaves you OOP on the flop, and hands him the pot on a plate every time you miss. Shoving is better IMO.

I think you're expecting too much of a difference with 6-max vs FR, Liam. It really is just like you've seen the first 3 players in a full table fold.

I think the limp-reraise from LP vs a tag like you with no tendency of stealing/squeezing is very often a small-med pair or some other weird cards that's turning their hand into a bluff. OOP I think I 4-bet this and call a shove. I don't want to call and let him bluff me off what might be the best hand.

having played both a fair amount, i disagree somewhat. there's definitely a 6max mentality and FR mentality, namely significantly more aggression and 3-betting in the former, even compared to the times where the first 3/4/5 players have folded in FR

Dunno if "expecting" is the right word Chuck, I dont intend to go back to short handed games any time soon, I beat it consistantly up to nl$25 and switched to FR mainly on nl$50. I played 30thousand or so hands at 6 Max.

What were you reasons then Liam for tranferring to FR. Too laggy in 6max? Too much variance?

Anyways back to the hand, If we 4 bet here, do we 4bet shove or standard 4 bet?

If you 4 bet you want to shove. Raising to $22 or so means you're simply shoving the flop anyways. He's pretty LAG over these 120 hands so I'm not opposed to shoving.

Fair enough - I admittedly have played less than 10k hands of 6-max so my input on it really doesn't count...it just sounds like every time you chime in about 6-max Liam, you talk about it as if it's a whole other world when I don't really think it's all that different aside from the upped aggression. A weak line is still a weak line.

Anyways ignoring that I still think our hand crushes the limp-raiser's range. I'm not sure I like calling and taking a flop since he'll be able to push you off the best hand so often having position on you, but I feel like reraising pf pushes out a lot of those bluffs. I still like the push though - 4-betting is kind of silly as CR mentioned as it leaves you in a weird postflop spot. I like shoving because it'll balance our play nicely for when we have legitimate monsters, but that's a personal preference thing I think.

I poosh.
