Im thinking of adding any hand that has a 6 and another wheel cards to my range of limping hands on the CO/button if alot of players see a flop in games where people will play A2-A5. I figure i will get paid if i hold 62 AND the loose player holds A2 and it comes 345 etc.

Will it happen often enough to make up for the times I limp/fold?

Thoughts?

remember this is only for very loose tables
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

I think you can use this reasoning for playing suited connectors (including 1 and 2 gappers. I just don't believe hands like 26 will be +EV in the long run for how you want to play it.

It's not a move I use often, but occasionally I'll raise a suited connector/1 gapper from UTGish in full ring. 67s is my favorite for this purpose...

Realistically though, the board has to be 2345x with no flush and no paired board for the 6 to have any real added value, and those situations are very few and far between.

I was in the BB with J7 the other day and hit 89T on the flop. I was so surprised I almost fell off my chair - it was the first time in living memory I actually hit with a three-gapper*. You gotta avoid them really - you jsut won't hit often enough, and the one time you get tempted in with TP or bottom two pair you'll lose lots of chips.

*the turn was a Q, which could have fatally harmed me had KJ also been in the hand, which was eminently possible. Also, even if you hit a straight with a three-gapper, AT is the only 3-gap holding that can give you the nut straight.

my thoughts are that a 6 is generally a very worthless card.
