thanks I appreciate those suggestions too. I fully understand why the strategy you suggest is optimal (or pretty close to it) for 6 handed $25NL... but I find myself straying away from it when I'm cold carded. Like, I'll find myself start calling with suited gappers UTG, or raising Ax suited from 3rd or 4th position. I think this is costing me money, but it happens kinda slowly so I don't really fully know how badly I'm playing when I'm playing like this.
