    Default A few donk questions

    1) What are good spots to lead out on the flop when you arent the preflop aggressor? I almost never lead out, and I am sure I am supposed to sometimes... can you list some situations where you would lead out

    2) At 10nl and 25nl.. do you ever fold KK preflop? I seem to run KK into AA a lot pf, and I wonder if its avoidable.

    3) how greatly do people's stats differ from fullring to 6max.. someone told me to aim for 16/11.. right now I am 14/9, but its fullring.. and I assume his suggestion was for 6max

    for value, sometimes. In HU situations where you assume the preflop aggressor will raise, on drawy boards where you have a strong hand multi-way and are worried it will check through, that sort of thing. BUT, and this is key, you shouldn't be in many pots out of position when you aren't the pfr anyway!

    about never. But if you think that villain is only continuing with better then maybe you should be calling where you're raising. Also, it merely seems like a lot. What % of times with KK have you ended up < AA?

    don't "aim for" stats. VPIP and PFR are typically higher in 6max than in FR 13-11 is standard FR TAG, 21-18 is more of a 6-max TAG standard. If you're running 14-9 and winning then don't stress it too much

    Thanks Daven!

    I am winning at 10nl now.. thanks to some advice on here and just lurking.

    I have 4bb/100 after 30k hands. lots of work to do still!

    I am not sure how often I run KK into AA pf.. but you are right I probably just remember it and think it happens a lot..

    nice work. post your position stats. Or just look at them. You can probably see for yourself any problems - search out old position stats posts and see which comments apply to you.
