- The Fake UTG limp reraise
I play a lot of 6 max lately and really hate to open limp (I might limp with ok hands if there are other limpers)
So I got KJo in UTG and decide to limp and a passive table (If the table is aggressive I usually fold this UTG) its folded to the blinds. SB complete and I decide that if BB make a move...
- HU - open folding bttn
How often if at all do you open fold from the bttn in HU IF you have a decent stack compare to blinds..
I almost never open fold. Only when my stack get real small will I tighten up and raise or fold. But when the stack is healthy, I'll often limp with any 2 cards .
is that a leak?

- online heads up cash games
recently i've been playing online heads up cash games (usually .50/1, 80 dollar buy-in), which i really really like. made the mistake of winning alot (for me) early on, and have since began to slide.

- Who has 6-handed NL SNGs?
I was enjoying the 6-handed SNGs at Pacific Poker ($5, $10, $20 variety) when they removed them. I e-mailed them and got a good, quick reply that they were repairing them and they should be back in a week. That was a month ago.
Does anyone know a site that has such games?

I never really see anyone talking about the 6 handed games so i thought I'd put a couple questions out there to get some discussion going. These are the games I play the most as I find they're better for clearing bonuses faster and I tend to have a better bb/100.
What I'm wondering is if it's correct...

- Loose heads up
Most tournaments I play I waver on the side of being too conservative, but once it gets to heads up I will play any hand if it is not raised, and depending on the raise I will still play a lot of hands. This usually works for me because I have established my conservative image and in a heads up game...

Okay, I've learned one thing about my NL Hold'em playing skill, and that is that it lacks in one on one situations. I can do a good job of making it to the final two, but once it gets to there I find myself losing more, and I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with how I'm playing.

I used to play a lot of 5 person SNG's because if figured it was easier to win. Which is true.
