Good exercise
I missed the flush on 18. My mistake.
This has been valuable for me, and a perfect illustration of the difference between 6 max and a full ring game. At a Party 2/4 or 3/6 full ring game with three or four callers and up, low to middle pair just isn't going to win the hand unless you make your set on the flop.
Meanwhile, I'm much more comfortable with the role of rock than maniac. In theory playing so tight (and transparently) should hurt my win rate -- and it would if I was playing with stronger opponents, who might, say, respect my re-raises. But instead, they'll keep calling me down with top pair against a flush or straight. So I go right on folding marginal hands, and hammering away with premium hands.
Which is a recipe for a slow but steady win rate at full low limit table of monkeys, but would likely get me slaughtered at a crafty 6-max table.
