This is notes from the NL100 Holdem 6-max video from Stoxpoker.  Nick is playing 4-table on party poker.  Lets see what I can learn.

Pressure.  Betting at pot after pot.  So when he plays a big pot, he might be a little under dog, but he would have probably made it up with the small pots.

bb vs sb open limp.  Raise when you have position in a heads up pot.

Overbet the river with a solid made hand sometime

Squeeze play.  It has two positive effects.  If you show down then it will make it more likely to get called with your big hands.  The second benefits is when you have some random hand, you could flop something big and it is hard for your opponents to put you on a hand.

Opponents that are short stack, Ace high hands go up in value.

When three bet, Half pot size bluff c-bet three way when miss and if called, then be done with the hand in position.

I will try to focus on these situations in my upcoming session.  What I will do to try to focus on these tips is open up a word document with these tips and the one from video #005 and play only two tables at once.  I will see how that goes.

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.
