So I made a few adjustments and it seems to be working so far at 6max. For the most part I had to just tighten up which means I went from 16/12 stats to more like 12/9 and really got pickier with my cards in EP.
Its been a small sample but it seems to be working so far; I'm a lot more comfortable while playing...which means you can play like a confident, badass while playing, instead of being scared since you opened with JT from EP....
Heres a couple of hands that worked out for me. I'm not proud of how I played them all but here it is regardless...

Why did I limp w/ KK? Just to be sneaky...and of course the A lands on the flop. After his flop call, I felt that he didnt have an A. I checked the turn, hoping to induce a bet....again I dont like it and on the river I felt happy to fire out a small suck bet. I wanted some $$ from him so I put out a little bet that I felt he would call. I wish I made it more like $.30 but thats what I did...
This hand was nice...not much villain could do I doubt:

I had very few hands on him so I had to go with regular instinct here.
When he raised the flop, I felt he had a FD or was trying to move me off a FD (and he held TPMK).
His turn shove convinced me that I probably had the best hand. Again he either had a FD or a worse K. If he had KK, or AK he probably would've reraised preflop so my KQ was likely the best.
It was possible that he had a set of 2's or 7's but thats a small number out of his possible holdings so I made the call...
I think I will continue with playing 2nl 6max for a while to improve. I would like to play my 5nl FR but I really want to bump up my knowledge w/ 6max. Besides, some of the juiciest tables at 5nl are 6max so I need to improve before taking my stacks to a 5nl 6max table.
I would really like to play some HU tables as well...that will be my next project. Again, I will play them at 2nl and just keep starting tables to practice....I'm terrible at HU...even worse than 6max...
My playing time has reduced which is sad, I have a seminar to study for this month as part of my University course...
Hopefully next month I can put some serious hours into my tables...
