we were 7 handed at 100/200 and 5 handed at 300/600

combo of tight play and all in winning
Gone are the days of down to 5 at 50/100, regularly.
One reason I like the 6 Man, more hands per blind level.

ok... no particular reads as no donks were obvious; but generally solid play and tight.

I'm putting several hands here and hopefully it works out to discuss them/or some.

Are you dumping on a reraise PF? It seems you intentionally made the bet small enough to do so without much thought. Def cannot fold once you get that flop. What are you doing on missed flop, same bet? I raise PF with 500-550, probably just a style thing.

More important than just style I think. A raise to 475 gives SB around 2:1 and BB almost 3:1, and they are going to hang around with some pretty weak holdings. KJs is a nice hand shorthanded, but I still dont want to invite the world of weak Aces and suited connectors into the hand.

I would play it for all its worth also, especially to price out the spade draw.

yes, I'm prepared to dump preflop
the table was playing tight/. Re-raises preflop probably mean bad things for me and I'd rather wait to gamble.

misses flop would CB a blind and c/f to Button generally, with texture playing a role.

Copernicus,

partialy posted this because of the small preflop raise and my thinking to play small pots in a game where we're all packed close and tight play prevails.

With my LP, you prefer a raise to 600?
I never really think 125 more makes much difference in terms of what hands call you. But it does make it slightly harder to play post flop imo. With lower blinds I make standard raise.

thank you for all input and help
and I'm not arguing I'm just trying to leanr more

What is folding to 475 that isn't to 400? I don't know the raise is just unusual, I don't really think anything is wrong with it, I think 600 is too much. I'd rather you minraise or make it 500-550, 475 is bad on my eyes biggrin.gif
