KoRnholio will become famous soon enough

I've played a lot of limit holdem and PL Omaha, as well as quite a few NLH MTTs and SNGs. I've played full ring before but generally haven't done too well. People have suggested that I try 6max (a more aggressive, less nut campy/trappy game) so here it is.

Since I haven't played with any of these guys before, I have no notes or PT data to go on.

BTW sorry about the formatting, this hand converter I have for crypto is for LHE games so I have to manually add in the dollar values. It sometimes garbles other action (especially preflop) as well.

Villain is an aggressive blind stealer, often calls/floats the flop.

Villain here hadn't been at the table too long, but seemed kind of aggressive. I figured his check on the turn was weakness but didn't want to get check-raised by a monster. I think a 1/2 pot bet would have been better?

#5

Same villain, very next hand (but on a different table). I felt a little lost in this hand, but felt that I was ahead. Villain was also aggro on the next hand at the last table as well, possibly tilting. I didn't want to just call the flop and have an overcard come so I just stuck it all in.

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.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1: It's fine
Hand 2: Raise pre-flop, Bet turn as played.
Hand 3: Raise the flop, you'll stack him quite often on this flop.
Hand 4: Bet the turn.
Hand 5: Read driven. Usually I just dump this to the $8 raise pre-flop.
