Well, today I played some PL 6 Max (0.05/0.10) and it turned out a lot better. I stuck to a strategy of being pretty tight with my starting hands, and I also played pretty aggressively along the Rippy/Doyle Brunson lines. Not only did I win a lot of showdowns, but I also won a lot of pots by being aggressive when I had nothing, and they showed weakness. Anyway, here are my stats. I'd appreciate any critiques.

Also, how much of a leak is it to call hands on the small blind? I generally call any hand I would normally play/raise with, plus any suited connectors or one-gappers, any Ace-Anything, and some junk with a high card. I won a few good hands on these today, as people don't catch on that you have one when you do catch a good flop. I am not sure this happens often enough to make it worth it in the long run, though.

My Stats from Royal Vegas:

No. of Games Won: 28%
Showdowns Won: 88%
No. of Flops Seen: 40%
Win % of flops seen: 57%

Your actions:
Fold: 35%
Check: 22%
Call: 8%
Bet: 20%
Raise: 11%
Re-Raise: 2%

Where you fold:
Preflop: 53%
Flop: 8%
Turn: 5%
River: 1%
No Fold: 30%

Good work. Now, just keep it up. Remember, 6max can be swingy but hopefully those swings will all be in an upwards direction.

Tight preflop, aggressive postflop - nice work.

Very good job on the % showdowns won, that is quite impressive. In 6max you tend to have to pay people off more so that % should drop over time. Mine is only 47.5% after about 4k hands at 100NL 6. Not sure what it is overall though.

People underestimate how important rakeback is when beating 6-max....both limit and no limit. Get hooked up with a good deal. PM me if interested.
