Notes from Video #005 NL Holdem 6-Max

Posted by photojake On August - 23 - 2008

Well, I am going to take notes while I watch this video from Stoxpoker.  This video is the first NL Holdem 6-max video that was ever put on Stoxpoker site.  Nick “stoxpoker” Grudzien made this video.  I think he made all of the first twenty or so video on the site.

He is playing 4-tables of 6-max 200NL.  I am looking for situational advice.  This video does not have any stats showing so most of the plays are without reads.

On an A high flop, he c-bets with a little more than half pot in position.

Middle Position with AA does standard raise and gets called by CO.  Flop comes 856 rainbow.  C-bet 2/3 pot and gets min-raise.  The flop is scary, so he has a decision between re-raising or calling.  He decided to call because he has no read.  Turn comes 10 with no flush possibility.  He check because it is not a great card for him and wound call pot-size bet.  Villian checks and river comes A.  Stox bets 1/2 pot and Villian folds.  Villian probably on a 4-card straight and that flop min-raise was to see two cards for free.  Stox would have played it aggressively if he though he was on a draw. It is okay if he is someone who will bluff when he does not hit.

C-Bet dry board with position.  Fold to raise.  This should be a standard play for me.

Small pair in SB.  Get raised by the button.  Hopes to get multi-way for set value so calls with two other left to act (BB and UTG limper). Check/fold when missing the set.  Bluff goes way down multi-way and betting for value goes way up.

You can steal with any two in both blinds are tight (blind defense stat).

Okay, these are the notes that I took while watching the video.  I think these are things that I have heard before, but not really “taken note” of them.  I need to take every advantage to win at this game and if I miss value or play incorrectly, it will make it difficult for me to be a winner in the long run.
