Dang, I must be a LAgg now that I moved up to 6-max. I was borderline rock at full ring, but my 6-max VPIP and PFR are both significantly higher than Jeffs which apparently are higher than yours. Kinda wierd that my style would change so much just by switching to a different number of players at the table.
Hi folks

One thing to keep in mind about 6 max, is that IMO being a Lagg does not work in the long term.

One of the key principles of being able to be agressive and still be +EV is that you are only playing premium hands.

I see players loosen up at 6max to 22-30% and still try to play the hands just as aggressively as they did at 8% to 11% 10handed. When you think about it, this can't work. It's an incompatable way to approach the game. You are playing a broader range of hands, so your aggression level needs to come down or you will be spewing chips.

IMO the best players in 6 max are semi-loose (let's say 23 to 29%) and with agression levels that are mid-range between agressive and passive.

So, there is nothing too wrong with being SLAP (semi-loose agressive passive), but being a LAGG is going to be dificult to pull off long-term.

Now....back to golfing......
Well, thanks for the advice. Right now being a LAgg is resulting in the best poker and win rate I have ever sustained for this many hands, so I'm not changing anything, but when variance does inevitably kick in(I know I can't win 8BB/100 forever), I'll probably take the advice and tighten up a bit
