I limped with QQ, got the raise which was called before I re-raised to within .30 of the stack of the original raiser. The 2 people caught up in the middle figured theyd stay in and called my raise. Then the first raiser figures "hell ive only got .30 left might as well go all in." So he raises for the rest of his stack.

Other guys call and I SLAM ALL IN, cuz the other guys didnt have allin hands or they wouldnt have limped 2 times already.

This wasnt all planned exactly like that, but the entire table was playing like a bunch of pussies, with 12 people limping preflop every time and checking around and around to the river before some guy with Q9 won 1.90. It seemed like they werent too confident in their hands and I wanted to get Ax out of there. So I hoped for a couple folds and extra dead money which is exactly what I got.

What do you think? Am I delusional?

I don't like it.

Limping with QQ (Not exactly the monster overpair that KK or AA is (over flops 50% of the time)) behind another limper is a being a bit wasteful of QQ. Though it does add deception to a set that you may flop. You'll be in trouble with a lot of flops and action with QQ as the overpair.

Unless you play it "No set, no bet." you'll get yourself into a sticky situation here a lot.

Just leading out with QQ at these stakes would be effective and less risky.

-'rilla

Good point. I think I was planning on the no set no bet thing that you mentioned because I was doing homework at the time until I stopped and looked at all the action. But the thing is that at the stakes I play at deception is not worth giving up opening with the queens. I honestly think im getting superstitious with the bitches because every time I raise with em I watch an AK flop.

Limping with qq really not recommended. I would have thrown out a decent sized raise here. rilla' pretty much layed it out for you. I'm just glad the hand worked out well for you.

How about this 6max push?

Hope u didn't get raped like me.

Thats a tough one. I just pushed because I know the players suck and could have anything, and I dont have the read skills to fold a flush J high 6max. At least I was the one pushing. Luckily it held.

Ok, Look at this hand. I played it so loose - I was on a little tilt. I figured Id just call his raise, but then when the little guy went all in, I figured I had the best of it and considering the limpers I figured I could isolate him with a huge bet...but apparently not.

Usually I wouldnt have put so much faith in his check being a sign of weakness, but thats what I did dammit.

Let me just promise you guys that Im not a reckless idiot..most of my playing time is just sitting around waiting for good flops and folding to aggression. Most of these hand histories are just my most marginal (if even that) 6max plays. I do get burned at times, but so far its been a slow profit.

I am in the green so far in 6max but not by a whole lot. Every day I am able to build a stack up to 50-100 bucks at the 25NL tables, but before that I have usually busted a couple times. So, I know its possible to absolutely crush these games. If I quit making some of these big moves (and getting rivered by flush chasers) I think my daily win rate would improve dramastically.
