Hi,
Regarding '6-max' tables (edited from 'shorthanded') no-limit. I am wondering if anyone would be able to give some insight about how much a player should be winning or loosing per hand (measured as bb's or BB's/hand) when we look at
*two pairs
*pairs
*high cards
My assumption is that a player should be a winner with 2 pairs, pretty even or slightly loosing with pairs and loosing with high cards.
Tnx for any help,
ace wannabe jr
Your description is just about true for the 7000+ hands I have on poker tracker, but thats playing SSS 10 seated.
Short Handed I would assume the value of high card, single pair increases.

Hi brett1985,
Thank's for answering. I tend to think it's the contrary. 6max players are required to play more hands and a skilled player knows you should never enter limping.
It seems to me the premium for entering a play is higher creating more micro timespan losses especially with high cards as you also need to be playing with cbets to maintain credibility with really marginal hands - like over cards and almost any single pairs are. Even TPTK is a hand I won't start firing right away with as it is really a potential huge long term losses generator if you try to force opps out by blunt betting with it (believe me... I know 
).
Real Heads up and 3way aka real shorthanded tables is probably where TPTK becomes a strike hand. So... edit: this info is requested for 6max tables instead of hardcore shorthanded.
