After reading the advice of numerous people saying that 6max is the way to go these days ive joined the party and gotten my feet wet playing shorthanded poker.

Anyways, one trend im finding and that im having the worst time dealing with it is when I raise preflop and then get led into on a flop that i miss. Raising will occasionally fold the person out if they're just throwing out a bet to see if you really have it, but more often than not they've hit some kind of weak top pair that people dont seem to fold anyways in these games (at 1/2 and 2/4 at least). Calling seems way to weak to me, but ive resorted to it on occasion to hopefully hit a good turn card, or reevaluate the turn and give up. Folding is almost out of the question unless the board is really draw heavy, and even then i hate doing it.

here are a few hands that ive played...thoughts?

Hand 1:
i play it the same

Hand2:
overargo IMO if you do raise, well if you bet the turn and he calls you have to put him on a SD... that gets there on the river easy fold for me on the river...

Hand3:
over argo on that flop IMO i probably call and muck to the turn Q

Hand 4:
i play it the same

Hand 5:
NOTE NEED READS FOR THIS PLAY
umm i might have seen a turn and hope no one floped a flush with the guy short stacked he could be doing there with just a Ace of hearts... the river sucks donkey nuts so you probably saved a couple bets... but that's looking at resolts...
