I recently made the shift to 6max after the recommendations from damn near everyone.

Hand 1:

BB is 46.3/9.26/1.24 (not including pf) over 54

.
2 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.33 SB) 7

, 8

, Q

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.16 BB) 6

(2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.16 BB) A

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: 6.16 BB

Hand 2:

Is betting beyond the flop spewy?

Button is 48.89/6.67/0.89 over 45

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6

River: (5 BB) K

(2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

Final Pot: 7 BB

Hand 3:

Is my call down good enough with a double gutshot? I'm not exactly sure on how good my pot odds need to be to call on the turn, but I'm assuming it has to be along the lines of 5:1 because a single gutshot is 10:1. Then again, implied odds works its funky magic as seen on the river.

SB is 73.68/47.37/3.90 over 38

Hand 4:

I figured my K was good because he's stolen my BB before (when I held junk), so I decided to pop him off if I had the best of it.

Hand 5:

Nasty nasty hand I got into. I called the river raise because the pot was getting pretty big and I wasn't gonna fold to 1 bet, even for the 10... am I right here? I was gonna go for the check/raise on the turn, but that was a no-go.

I mostly play 2/4, which isn't quite as aggressive as 3/6 and doesn't quite play the same. Nevertheless, here are my thoughts:

Hand 1: With a read I bet this river, but sometimes I'll check behind.

Hand 2: He didn't raise you on the turn, which is good news, meaning he probably doesn't have the striaght; but on the other hand, he didn't fold either. There's a good chance he has a T and is calling for the gutshot, but he could also have some overs instead (something like JQ or over+gutshot like KT) or something weird containing a weak pair like 7Ts (which is still stronger than your pair). I think the turn bet can be justified but I don't bet the river.

Hand 3: The guy is aggressive post-flop so raising the flop for the free card is not nearly as likely to work as against a usual opponent. I probably just call the flop (though my line against a standard weak passive or semi-aggressive player is to raise for a free card, especially if they aren't thinking about why I would raise on a connected board). You definitely have odds to call this turn (even without taking implied odds into account, you've got the right odds here).

Hand 4: Top pair in a blind defense situation is strong. Against passive players I like to check/raise or bet this flop and lead the turn; a passive villian is too prone to check behind and I don't want to give free cards or lose value from missed bets. But against aggressive players who will attack your weakness with anything, I often take the line you took, check/calling the flop and check/raising the turn. And against thinking opponents, I tend to mix it up so that my play is not obvious.

Hand 5: I usually just 3-bet this flop and bet this turn and hope to get action from an ace, two pair, or something like AT (or from god knows what--people play all kinds of weird stuff). I think the amount you win when you get played back at or simply the few extra bets you win by raising (both of these weighted to their probability of course) outweigh the extra bets you gain when your trap on the turn works minus bets you lose when it doesn't (again, weighted for probability). Also, MP could be raising with something like a pair of kings medium kicker maybe with a gutshot like KT or KQ to knock out CO, and/or for a free card. So 3-betting the flop and leading the turn foils a free card tactic and sucks for someone that was trying to protect a marginal holding. River sucks. I like the bet but I cry and call the raise.
