I am trying to learn how to play 6-max tables. So be gentle. How should I have played this hand, at every street?

Preflop: folded
Flop: Watched
Turn: Watched
River: Watched.

Mind you, I"ve yet to play a hand in 6 Max.
I'd defend this against a late Pos, like CO-Button Raise..
But I'd respect a raise more from SB and given the UTG limp you aren't closing he action, and SB is not just trying to steal.

Again, I'd say I don't play 6-Max.

I may have folded pf. It depends on the sb and the utg player.

If UTG is loose, and SB has a high PFR%, I probably call.

You have to raise this flop. The hand plays much differently after that.

Sometimes I may wait until the turn to raise. I'd be more inclined to do that when there were less overcards that could come. Say, you had KT on a JJT flop. Waiting may be best if your opponent is aggressive.

I like this, except that I'm probably not waiting to the turn to raise unless I'm HU.

Forgot about sb.

Me neither.

Unless SB is a rock I'm calling this PF.

From there, I raise the flop and fold to a 3-bet. Otherwise, bet/fold the turn.

fold PF and raise the flop. this is pretty easy people. If our hand is suited then a PF call can be justified, as is, its not and is just a mid offsuit gapper and we have a limper and a PF raiser in this hand. I fold PF and don't look back(and I'm raising that flop in a heartbeat, calling a three bet and folding UI on the turn)

hey breakingliberty,

if you had no read on sb, calling preflop was a HUGE mistake.

you REALLY need reads to both be able to effectively play AND analyze (here) these super-marginal postflop situations.

without a read, calling down is best. raising the flop is usually counterproductive, it gets you nowhere (at least in my games, where you'll most often be three-bet here 99% of the time by sb's entire range).

edit: i can elaborate... raising the flop is best in a passive game against a predictable/passive opponent. i dunno, i haven't played against that type of opponent in a long time.

screech and sysvr, we ARE heads-up. utg folded preflop to sb's raise after he limped preflop (collusion!!! jk).

Flop IS 3-handed. :-)

Or was that the joke. :?

ah my bad. then this flop leans heavily toward a raise.

No way you possibly fold this hand preflop, unless you are 100% sre your opponent has an overpair. you're getting 5 to 1 preflop, prolly six to 1, cuz UTG is mostlikely going to call, your implied odds are 7 to 1, becasue sb will lead with any two cards at the flop, make the call preflop, raise the flop, fold to a three bet.

ok doyle.

and of course J9o has a ton of showdown value unimproved.

oh, and it has awesome top pair value.

oh yeah, it's never really dominated either.

definitely call preflop.
