Calling Station

[SirFWALGMan]

Hey thanks for your advice. I tried it tonight and it worked really well on one table, and so-so on another. I basically said If I am going to stay in, I am going to bet or raise. Period. I ended up out on one table. Got busted by really bad luck, and a little bit of betting when I probably should have folded. Alot less than before though.

I ended up almost trippled up at the other table. I was with alot of calling stations, LAGS, and one Maniac! It was sweet! So I basically ended up about 20BB. I always bet scary flops, and folded against any strength I saw. Usually people folded to me. I also raised when I was likely to have the best hand to protect my Q high, etc.. I got called to the river with 2nd and 3rd pairs alot and that helped. Not a bad night. I will continue to try and get more aggresive, and read a little more to try and tweak my game for this new level.

Sounds like you enjoyed it. Once I learned the style of 6 handed, it was really hard for me to go back to a full table outside of NL tourney play. There just seems to be so much more art in it than the calculated play necessary for 10 handed.

I love playing Nl 6-seated cash games , It's where you can sit down and destroy the table. Many times I've sat down with a third of what the rest of the table has in $ and 2 hours later have the majority of it sitting in front of me. I find the full ring games really slow, but they also have the potential for bigger pots since you'll have more people seeing flops. In shorthanded games its generally heads up or 3 ppl per hand thats where bluffimg really comes into play if I find a table with alot of tight players I'm going to try and steal every pot I play. with loose players i'm gonna set a trap and take everything they got. Controlled aggresion is everything, since there is less players ppl will be playing more hands usually. It all comes down to table dynamics and changing your playing style accordingly.
