6 handed NL Cash Games -- Aggression

[eddo31]

i dont know as much about nl 6-max, but i would assume that as in shorthanded limit it is a game where aggression is really rewarded. always putting your opponents to the test will put you in a very good position.

i dont actually mind the strategy of trying to steal the blinds with any two, and then firing at the flop no matter what comes. like you said, there is a tremendous amount of deception involved in this, and it will usually put other players in tough spots. of course, this strategy can be countered by waiting for big hands and trapping with them, but that is difficult to do when you are playing shorthanded.

as usual, it all comes down to playing poker and understanding your opponents. if you can exploit your opponents by playing loose and trying to run them over on the flop, then go for it.
