I've been playing 6-Max recently, and though this game is overall more aggressive than FR, most regs seem to be pretty straight forward especially in pre-flop situations.
Not realising this was a leak in my game when I started off, by over-thinking and not giving my opps enough credit(+Fancy Play Syndrome) It's 25NL !!
How many people that supposedly know what they are doing(so not lagtard spewfish, but the 'regs' that read a bit about pot odds), are really 3b/4b bluffing etc. at these stakes? I think very few..

I have a few friends who play from 50NL up to 600NL+ and they often ship/5bet AK and QQ ish hands vs 4bets.. as people are way more aggro at those stakes.

I'm just posting a few hands to see what your standard play would be and maybe fix some leaks !

Note: I started out as an SnG player, made the transition to FR cash and now to 6M Cash. This might effect my play in these spots.

Hand 1

Villain here was 26/22 with 15%(20) 3bet over only 46 ish hands. Only notes where that he liked defending his blinds with way too big 3bets which he folded to a 4bet.

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($26.80)
Button ($25.90)
SB ($25.10)
BB ($25.05)
Hero (UTG) ($26.15)
MP ($25)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K
Hero bets $1, 2 folds, Button raises $3, 2 folds, Hero raises $9.50, Button raises $22.90 (All-In), Hero ?

What do we do here when he 3bets?
-Fold
-Flatcall
-4Bet and get it in
-4Bet/Fold

As played when we 4bet and get shoved on, we really don't have a choice or do we?

Hand 2

Villain here was 19/17 with 11%(18) 3bet, no notes. Basically a typical 25NL TAG probably.

Button ($50.95)
SB ($23.10)

Hero (UTG) ($36.35)
MP ($25)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, Q
Hero bets $1, 2 folds, Button raises $3.50, 2 folds, Hero raises $8, Button raises $16, Hero ?

Same story/question here. But we're a bit deeper and his min5bet looks so gay.

Don't get me wrong; this is not a "omg bad beat/cry" topic, because obviously I got beat in these hands or I wouldn't have posted.
This is more to discuss ranges the typical TAG kinda reg at 25NL is 3/4/5betting with Pre Flop.

Like when your AK gets 3bet do you flat or 4b/fold, because how many worse hands are calling? Obviously it's player dependent and there are some reg's that I 3b/4b light against because they also 3b light.
But vs a TAG AJ/AQ is out of the question, best case we're up against QQ and flipping, worst case we need to spike an A or 2 K's?
Or am I thinking to straightforward here..

Opinions please, also if anyone knows a strat post that discusses these things please say so !
