Understanding NLHE

First article I am going to mention is Pleno's thread *Ask me anything about 6max*

After busting my role playing PLO I was a little bit unsure about whether I wanted to go back to playing poker. This thread inspired me to restart my poker career and finally get around to starting a blog.

Rating: 10/10 - If you are a 6max player get over there and read it, then probably read it again, then post and read it again, its amazing.

Most Useful Info: So far I have read this thread twice and atm I have taken the HUD setup, suggested PF range and bet sizing's from there.

I think the HUD is outstanding I have played about 6k hands with the HUD so far and am still adjusting to it but I think it quickly and easily gives you all of the stats you need to get the most out of your pre flop game.

I probably wouldn't recommend the PF range's for everyone they feel a little bit tight to me but I will play them for a while until I can find a solid reason to play more hands. They are giving me a very solid foundation to base my game around and so far it is working well for me.

With the PF raise sizing I have never bet this small on the BTN or CO it feels a bit weird but amazingly I don't think people are calling too much wider at these stakes.

There really is so much information in this thread, and it will take me along time to work all of it into my game, when I get some more time I will contribute to the thread as well, no doubt I will have some questions for sure.

Some hands from yesterdays session

Villain is playing 24/20/17.5 fold to 4bet 20%

When I played this hand against him I think he was playing something like 27/25/28.5 w/ fold to 4bet of 0

He tightened up alot when he got deeper but not before I won a few stacks off him. Yay for run goods.

I have 2 questions

1. Given his stats at time of play (27/25/28.5) do you think this hand is a good hand to make this move with

2. If his stats were 24/20/17.5 F4B 20, do you think I should fold to 5b shove?

UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.60, 2 folds, SB calls $0.50, BB raises to $2.80, Hero raises to $7, SB folds, BB raises to $22.34 and is all-in, Hero calls $15.34

Flop: ($45.28) 7 A 3 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: ($45.28) A (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($45.28) K (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Little bit of a soul read villain is seems to be a reg.

My thought patter was pretty much, he would have cbet a flush draw (especially on that would c/r river), the only hand he has is 56 and I think he would fold 56o on the turn and cbet 56c on flop.

Thoughts?
