Seemed weak to me. I put him on the jack, so the ace wasnt much of a factor. This is 6max by the way. Good call down or lucky?

Raise the turn and win it there?

No sense giving him a chance to throw a nice bet out there and you gotta keep them guessing.

Calling down is hardly ever the best line.

Precisely.

Thanks! I don't know why, but it didnt even occur to me to raise that ace.

After all this working on either raising or folding, I am still finding myself doing stupid shit. Luckily not enough stupid shit to put me in any negatives in the last month or so, but its things like this that are holding me back from crushing tables. That, and I still have a problem respecting raises at times

I think a 6max/headsup forum would be a great addition. Everybody else has one, so why not us?

Before this hand I had been raising 1.5 almost every other hand, and for the last 3 hands in a row I took every pot uncontested. I figured I had the best of him, but I think I made it rather obvious that I didnt have that Ace, so should I have bet at least $15?
I had a feeling he was just calling me down to keep me honest. Anyways, this is the kind of stuff that happens if you're nice and aggressive like you're supposed to be.

My queens hit his aces, which he did not deserve, but just look at this guy. So easy, even when my kicker paired. Hes just bleeding that stack away, even though it may not appear so from this hand.

Yuo must have had a nice read on the river. For some reason I probably would not have been able to control my urge to raise it up big. Especially with the huge pot size at that point.

Oh, this table was great. Everyone called preflop raises and folded postflop unless they had monsters.

My notes on lipgloss:
-Flush chaser bastard
-Any 2 suited
-Mins bets draws (.25)
-Min bets when draw hits if no other bets

He was obviously chasing by simply calling, and the min bet was screaming for a huge raise. Chasing is his game. Im not kidding, he played ANYthing suited or connected, chased every flush and every straight. I built my stack right back up to $70 off him after losing about $30 on my queens to his aces.

Another player at the table
No PF raise with KQs
No PF raise with AJo
Checked & called with AJ tptk!
Not the greatest 6max tactics if you ask me

This was an autopilot 6max game for me. Raise PF, bet flop, collect pot. Raise PF, bet pot, get re-raised huge, fold.
