its time to find some leaks in my game
My targets:

1. respects to preflop 3-bets and realize my hand equity before acting
2. preflop cold calling with middle pairs when 2 players in (1st is raiser, 2nd is caller).
3. stopping isolating solid aggro players with e.g. KTs in position when they raised from UTG (what about CO, should i do it ot fold?)
4. recalculate pot odds for FD and SD, realizing implied odds
5. improve playing on the blinds by reading stoxtrader's book
6. remove my psychical problem (?! ) with non-betting the turn, when i was preflop raiser and made c-bet on the flop and was called and comes UI card on the turn. (Yes, of course it depends on many factors - mainly position, image of player, board). Most of time i am scared to bet here.

some things jumped into my head. but, mostly, i dont know what you are looking for in the way of leaks. using your points as a theme to focus on for a session, then posting relevant hands will help both you and us tremendously.

2) dont cold call even here. for 6max, if you arent raising/3betting, you are folding. period. maybe once in 1000 hands would you cold call. just take it out of your game, and stop thinking about when it MAY be correct. you will improve immediately.

3) you isolate with hands that dominate the raiser/limpers range. and, if HU, you cbet ALL flops w/o a read.

5) bvb wars are simply HU play, for the most part. if you have HEFAP, read the short-handed section all the way through twice. problem solved.

6) in limit, think of a 2barrel as a cbet. one little flop bet hardly ever gets the job done, but a 2nd barrel works about as often as a NL flop bet. tend to use the free showdown play more than giving up on turns when aggressor and it looks as though the board has missed villain's range, too. limit players, due to the structure of the game, just take more convincing that you have a hand.....when you dont.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

2. Sometimes it is correct to cold call, but it is very rare. Eliminating it from your game altogether is better than trying to find the spots to do it unless you are very experienced.
Calling out of the blinds is a whole different matter.
3. You should isolate with hands that fare well against villains range as a whole. His position will determine the estimates you can make regarding the strength of his range.
5. Blind play is ultra important in 6max since you will play in the blinds 30% of your hands.
6. Against passive players, you should tend to bet turns more and take free showdowns UI. Against aggros, it's generally better to value check the turn trying to induce river bluffs. Board texture is also important here.
