Hi all,

Looking at PT I noticed that I am losing the most from the first two early positions. I am thinking I might be playing marginal hands that maybe I shouldn't. Hands like KJ, A10, K10, QJ. I figured it is better to raise with them then to just call if I am going to play them at all. Should I be folding these hands in early? At a full table I would fold these in early all the time, but I trying to loosing up a bit at 6 max. Almost all the time I am playing at loose tables so I am getting like 4 callers at least. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jutah

 In full ring I fold all those. In 6max AT and KJ are okay, but KT and QJ should probably be folded in most types of games.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

 I Do not play QJo,KTo,KJo from EP in 6max. I would think ATo should be a slight winner from EP/MP in 6max. KTo is my biggest loser in 6max.

the hands you mentioned are essentially the hands that better players play to make 0.1BB more than a really good player over the long run.

i'm pulling that outta my ass, but i believe it's correct. essentially, if you're still learning and/or not comfortable playing these hands early, you're not forfeiting much by folding them, and you would never notice the benefits even if you played every single time perfectly.
