3-6 suck outs


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to win at a loose 3-6 game?? I dont thinkg so. Im a tight aggressive player, but when there is 7 players in each flop its hard to play your game. The pots are absulutely huge when u do win, but the suck outs are unbelievable. i lost 240 playin 3-6 for 7 hours last night/this morning not due to poor play. I was not able to bluff at any pots, and was constanitly being river ratted on byt other players. I seem to win playing the 5-10 10-20 games but there was none last night. Out of i'd say the 6 times in the last two months that i have played 3-6 limit, ive problably lost close to 600, but seem to do very well in the higher limit games. does anyone else have this problem, or any suggestions, thanks alot.

Did I read this right, your beating 5-10 and 10-20 but your playing 3-6? Do you not like money?

3-6 was the only game going, I arrived at 2 in the morning and there was a 15-30 stud game going and a 2 3-6 tables going. This happens at this cardclub quite often. But thanks for the input. It boggles my mind the way these players play though. Calling 3 bets with king six offsuit. I was just playing my normal game and coudl not win.

Then perhaps you need to change your game to adapt to the game conditions.

Does this mean you tried to bluff at some, and were called? Bluffing against calling stations is a sign of a player who hasn't adapted to game conditions. One other thing to consider: if the pots are already large before the flop - like seven players calling two bets or more each, pretty much anyone who flops anything - a pair, a gutshot, etc. - is getting correct odds to chase their hand down to the river. That means that their postflop play probably isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

You want them to call 3 bets with king six offsuit. Every time they make a mistake, you profit. Even if you lost this particular hand, you will make more money in the long run. If the games are that loose, bluffing usually won't work , you're going to have to showdown winners. Stay disciplined, play position, and play tight-aggressive. You're going to win less pots, but the pots you do win will be large enough to make up your losses and more.

yes it's possible to win.you need to adapt to the table situation.don't bluff.play more A-X suited hands for one SB.keep raising early to protect a made hand.

Ok..as i will say time and time again this is only my opinion, but I LOVE NO-LIMIT. Limit is a very safe game that can be played by bad players without the the fear of substantial loses. I'm not saying that limit is only played by bad players, but only that bad players can feel a sense of security when playing within set limits. My personal suggestion would be to move to NO-LIMIT or to simply move to higher limits where players care more about thier bankroles... :D

Why would you repeat something that doesn't make since?

Yeah I agree with this guy. I suggest starting off playing in $100/200 and staying there for a while. Once you can consistently beat this game, then you'll have enough skill to beat that crazy $3/6 game. And like this guy says, if all the bad players are playing limit, then you should play no-limit where all the better players are. Because, we all know, its better to play with good players rather than bad.Oh wait, nevermind. Do the opposite of everything I just said because this guy doesn't have a clue.

c'mon you guys, you're being a bit on a fellow poster who is obviously in a little pain here. I feel you're pain. Well, not really really since I've raked a grand playing 3/6 the last two weeks but I have lost before.My suggestion is to call NBC and start in the Heads up tourney in place of someone who gets sick or can't make it and if that don't work join Daniel's 4/8 cash game at the Bellagio. At least you won't run into any of those "bluffers" their and you can probably dominate.If none of that works buy SSHE by Sklanksy or read some smash columns, :?

Dude this game requires luck but isn't as hard as it seems and your only getting sucked out because you don't have the best hand. In this game you want to have the nuts or be drawing to a 36% chance of the nuts. a/x suited plays great in this game as river full houses are rare here. Basically everyone is chasing in this game so if you flop 2 pair or top pair and see a possible one outer just check and call because your hand has a 85% chance of winning as it does most of the time and if you lose you lose the min by check calling, hey there nothing wrong with winning a 20 dollar pot. A/X and king 9 and above suited hands play well in this game and are often drawing nicely to the best hand. Sets are great in this game with check raises making people pay the max to chase and your hand will hold up more the 60% of the time. Basically just consider this game set or better and play meager with top pair and fold to raises or check call to the show down because players often miss and bad players have top pair worse kicker. Flushes are king in this game and even a 9/6 hearted hand in the big blind with a flop of jh/4/h ace of diamonds can hit by the river and with check calling your showdown of a hit flush can win you a 40 dollar pot. It's only when you fill up in this game is when you wan't to 3 bet the turn and river to max out vs bad players who hit their baby flush or trips.
