Couple interesting spots come up. I run good in the video and am interested in what you guys think as I have been totally sucking at 6max lately.

~5:20, not sure I like firing turn. You say it is to rep the ace, but this board is so drawy and the flop hits his calling range so hard. So I agree not to cbet but why bet the turn? You may fold out a 7, but I don't think a 9 is folding here. idk a bet isn't horrible though because a flush most likely isn't checking turn here. Anyway, not sure the bet's bad, but I don't like your reasoning of "repping the A". Villain is not folding JJ or 9T here. I actually think we're betting for value here as we get lots of draws that probably end up calling.

~6:20, K7 in SB, CO with 25% att. to steal raises and 30/17 flats from the button. This is a good spot to squeeze I think. Not horrible not to, just something to think about.

~7:10, 86s in the SB, 50/0 limps UTG+1, I'd just raise this up, make it like $2.50 or $3. Isolate the fish, get initiative in the hand. As it is you're playing a hand that needs to flop pretty big to continue and you're unlikely to get action from such a bad loose player if you do hit.

~7:25, KJ I'd just muck to the minraise. Yes it's a minraise, but you're oop with a hand that does not play well against his 3-betting range.


Gotta go now, I'll watch the rest later and comment.

Forgot to mention, this is 6max by the way, if a mod could change the title to "bw07507 4-Table 50NL 6max Session" that would be good.

Q6s at 4:15 we can steal

5:17 definitely not a flop I want to cbet oop against the maniac. Pretty surprised he folded there, a huge part of his range will be those small cards.

6:30 I think J9 is just a fold. Sure we're getting a great price, but the guy has minraised in a 6-max game, ie he won't have a hand big enough to pay you off nearly enough (not to mention being oop) to make calling good there imo.

7:00 86s definitely like raising, not limping.

9:15 AK on the 532 FD flop I think both betting and checking behind (with the intention of calling at least one more street) are good. Like I think how you played it was fine. Once we get more reads (ie defining their flatting ranges pf) I think it becomes a lot more clear what the ideal line is.

KT hand where you flop the big draw, I think that's fine. It's a little loose pf (I'd prefer a small suited connector for ex. so that we don't get committed with TP or a weaker draw or something), but i don't think it's a huge mistake. Ya, and after flopping that you just can't let go.

88 hand at the same time on top left I like 3betting.

AA hand at 19:20 I like just betting the turn and stacking. Occasionally he'll have Ax that won't let go/smaller set/two pair, and he'll often be drawing too. If we check behind and hit an ace or a flush, that kills our action like crazy. I'm happy stacking turn against this guy. As played river call looks fine to me.

79s hand where you double barrel, I think against this tight guy it's ok, but a lot of the time he'll have a decent flush draw, meaning you're committing yourself to triple barrel a non-spade river if you double barrel that turn. He may not fold something like 99 either.

29mins 49s on the button. This is a spot you should open literally %100 of your range with guys that tight in the blinds. Folded to me on the button, if the blinds are anything tighter than 21/20s or whatever, then I'm opening %100. It'll do wonders for both your winrate and your table image (and in turn your winrate again).

JT at 33:15 I don't like isolating there, the guy's just too short and too bad to let go postflop. His FFB makes it much closer but I think it's thin.

AKs where the guy donks into you I definitely raise that flop. It's a little drawy, but we can put a lot of pressure on 89 hands, plus we're actually value betting vs naked draws. I feel like most of the time it's a marginal hand like 77 or A8 donking here and we can take it down. I think I like double barreling that turn, it's a good card to bluff and it doesn't really complete any draws except 79.

Shove with QQ is fine.

KJ top 2 pair hand I think we can just shove river. w/results it's easy to say, but I think he'll be able to look you up with any king, any smaller two pair. I think it was Harrington who said if there's any significant chance of getting called on the river, go ahead and shove with your monster hand. EV wise it's best. This guy's bad too, so I like just shoving.

Overall it looks like you're playing fine. Being a little more aggressive pf at the tighter tables would be nice. I'm sure you can run a lot looser than 18/17, even more profitably. Good stuff dude, gl with your transition. If not for your ego, then for the profitability :)

where you folded Q6s BvB against a tight BB; i auto-raise that up

9:15 AcKx on 532cc, i like checking behind most, not that betting is bad. you said it's not a flop that should hit them, only problem is every pocket pair likes it, and between the two of them i think you'll see at least one kind of often (if not possibly some suited connector with a 5 or something in it)

15:30 KT squeeze is fine. initial raiser is kind of tight but 12/11 still means he's the type who wants initiative with almost any hand he's playing, and that's usually a good type to 3bet (obviously 20/18 would be even better but we can't exactly cherry-pick it). post-flop's good

15:55 88 vs button-raise, i think it's close between 3betting a flatting. i flat 99 and TT here as my standard since there's not usually tons of value in 3betting them against most opponents, flatting is deceptive, and you can call down on a lot of boards. obviously the lower the pair, the harder it becomes to play OOP without initiative but i think flatting 88 is okay. i'd favor 3betting i think, and i'd definitely 3bet 77 and lower. post-flop i play it the same, nh

~19:10 AA i probably check behind turn vs. decent/good players and bet it against bad players. a good player is folding too much you beat, a bad player is calling with too much to lose that street of value. i think villain in the hand was relatively unknown, so it's hard to say. thing is that there's only one remaining A, so it's statistically more likely he had a straight or flush draw on the flop. i'd also call river the way it played out

22:18 i like the non-squeeze with T8s. i was sure you were gonna and thinking that i probably wouldn't, then you surprised me and folded =P. like you said, your image wasn't very good there and even though the raise came from the button, guy was like 20/8 so i think he's limping a lot of hands most people would raise, and raising a somewhat stronger range there. he's also probably gonna call a 3bet lighter than he should

~26:00 97s BvB double barrel i like. his range for calling your flop bet is pretty wide since it's BvB and he seems competent. i think there's a huge disparity between how often he's calling flop and how often he's calling another shell. since your hand is hopeless if you check, it's a great spot to fire again

~35:00 AK vs. the small donk: the raise is fine (since he did this into two players i actually don't mind folding, crazy as that sounds; HU i'm definitely raising) and i'd fire the turn. when he makes that donk and then insta-calls the raise, i'm positive he doesn't have a set. turn comes a J, putting an overcard out and giving you outs. i'd semibluff to fold an 8 and possibly a T

QQ shove is standard

46:20 i'd complete the K8 PF getting 7:1 vs. a couple awful players (52/9, 28/2) and an unknown

46:54 raise that A9s on the CO yo

i agree you didn't get a lot of great opportunities/opponents to 3bet or squeeze in that particular session. there were a lot of "maybes" but nothing you could be really faulted for. once you move up a little bit, it becomes a lot more important to have a balanced 3betting range as much as you can, but at 50NL i don't think it's quite as big of a deal

all in all i think you played really well. just keep looking for good spots to get involved, especially on a table where lack of cards is giving you a solid/tight image

Thanks for the comments people, been trying to play a little more aggressive preflop lately and I think I'm gonna stick with 6max for next month just for a little change of pace.

Good video, I just saw you posted a new one and I am going to check it out. There was just one hand that you auto mucked, the A9s, because you weren't paying attention. Everything else seems pretty solid and you should definitely be winning some money playing 6-max at these stakes.
