#1 8th July 2018, 6:46 PM

Hi people,I want to know if I played correct all in pre flop withh 66 on utg 1?

#2 8th July 2018, 11:48 PM

if you was short stacked yes if you aren't short stacked its an easy fold to a raise,il try n set mine with a hand like that

#3 9th July 2018, 1:37 AM

Well,if you are felling that you are gonna win the hand I say go.the decision is yours.

#4 9th July 2018, 1:53 AM

Lol, don't use feelings in poker, you'll lose a lot of money in long term, going all in with 66 mm depending the situation, if you're short stacked less than 10 bb you may go all in.

#5 9th July 2018, 2:02 AM

usually I will fold such hands without position.
or make a small raise and see a cheap flop. but in general with such a hand I would not play attacking

#6 9th July 2018, 2:10 AM

Weird i just played in a tourney and did the exact same thing. Didn't work out for me because i ran into QQ. Needless to say had i not done that and atleast seen the flop i would have not gone any further. So with this only experience i say not again for me a small raise or call not all in.

#7 9th July 2018, 2:32 AM

I cant add more than whats been said...if you are deep stacked, its a raise at a shorter table - personally i wouldnt open 6s utg at a 9 handed table- if your short stacked 15bb or less, yeah you might just ship it in. You never want to call off your stack, you want to be the aggressor when you can.

No idea, sometimes this is a correct move sometimes not. A serious answer here would require much more information on the type of game, blind level, stack sizes, how close to the money you were & such. There is no one size fits all answer for any table position/hand in poker.

#9 9th July 2018, 2:48 AM

It all depends on the table and your chip stack.

#10 9th July 2018, 3:59 AM

I would say depends on your chip size and players at the table to me that's an iffy hand to put your tourney life on the line for

#11 9th July 2018, 4:02 AM

If your feeling like a beast might just be playable because everybody knows the sign of beast 666 good luck.

#12 9th July 2018, 8:03 AM

I would not go all in with 66 early in a tournament, I should
Follow if it does not cost too much and hope for a hit.

#13 9th July 2018, 7:01 PM

Agreed with others in this place if you are short stack especially assuming it is a tournament in my opinion.

#14 9th July 2018, 7:22 PM

I would say 66 is a profitable play in the long run to shove it with 15BB or less.

#15 9th July 2018, 8:17 PM

Why you would shove 66 preflop? Are you betting value or bluffing? In any case I think isn't a correct play. If you make everyone folds, you don't win a expressive pot, unless in the final of a tournament, when the blind are high. If you get called, you will be in a coin flip or worst in most of the hands. Who would call your shove? Who has a good hand to do it.

Even in a good spot, in late position against tight players, you don't need to shove to steal blinds. A good raise is enough.

The only situation that I think it must be done is when you are short stacked.

But if you believe you are lucky and don't believe in odds, go for it. A lot of people do it online.

#16 9th July 2018, 8:18 PM

Depends on the tournament, how far along, your stack, other players' stacks, as well as how far along the tournament is. This is quite a vague question for so little details. Every position is different

Totally depends on circumstances. Ie chip stacks and if you are close the bubble. But I have a bad habit of limping in this exact position (when I have a decent chip stack)

#18 9th July 2018, 8:53 PM

Must of the time,no.Only if u are very short.

#19 9th July 2018, 8:59 PM

Only with short stack or if I am ITM knowing the villians moves can be.

#20 9th July 2018, 10:49 PM

I don't like to go all - in with small pocket pairs. Small pocket pairs are in a race with just about any hand that calls. I usually play as small as possible and try to flop a set. I have seen a lot of players push with small pocket pairs and win. Good luck !

UTG1 is a bad position for 66 at 9max ring .

You may try this all-in at 6 max .

Best position for a 66 is a BB !

#22 9th July 2018, 11:06 PM

The main thing here is that you really need to be thinking about more than just the two cards you're holding. Your table position, who you're playing against, stack sizes, what point in the tournament you're in, what are the current blinds and antes. Working on understanding position and what are you wanting to accomplish with the actions you're making and how to get the results you want more often than not.

#23 9th July 2018, 11:35 PM

You must play with a range of hands that will change according to all the details related to the game, thus, there will be moments that will be right to make these plays, in others it will be wrong, but there is no 100% strict rule, study about poker and try to adapt as you realize that it is necessary to do so.

#24 9th July 2018, 11:39 PM

if you are short stacked is easy shove, if not, easy fold

#25 10th July 2018, 12:01 AM

Well for me I will try to see the flop first then act accordingly, if I get equity I am a in.

#26 10th July 2018, 12:10 AM

It is relative, it will depend on how the table is reacting to your image. For example, if the players are in a tight game, which is good for you, raise-fold to 3-bet would be the standard move for me, so I think it's a + EV move in the long run, and you steal the blinds, but as I said, it depends a lot on the player's sensitivity, his image to the table and his aggressiveness rate.

#27 10th July 2018, 12:14 AM

Any 2 can be used to shove if the circumstances call for it.

Majority of any game though I would not be shoving with 66

#28 10th July 2018, 12:17 AM

I guess u mean tourney...

Short stacked yes. Shove shove shove.

Large stack it is a fold or call or raise, depending on table action.

In cash, no.

#29 10th July 2018, 12:24 AM

Many players underestimate the 66 preflop, not a bad hand.
Of course, you have a good all-in if you have less than 10-8 BB.
Because you did not tell me, so I can not tell in your case.

#30 10th July 2018, 12:43 AM

MORE EARLIER YOU ARE POSITION, THAN MORE STRONG MAPS YOU NEED TO CONTINUE THE GAME

66 very bad hand in your case

#31 10th July 2018, 12:47 AM

66, in Not a hand to Go all In pre Flop. The only situation to Go All In Pre Flop is If you are short stacked or If you need to go in a hurry!

#32 10th July 2018, 1:03 AM

The answer here could be ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT PLAY!!

or just as easily could be TERRIBLE PLAY!!!

It really all depends on the situation and without providing us with that info. here I'd say the best answer for this would be "Who knows? Maybe. Maybe yes.. maybe no."

#33 10th July 2018, 2:10 AM

No this is a trash, hit the fold button and wait another round...

#34 10th July 2018, 8:15 AM

If you're running out of chips you should go all in hoping that someone that doesn't have a pair calls you can double your chip stacks.

#35 10th July 2018, 8:44 AM

It´s a tough decision but short stack all in is the best action.
