First real time playing 10NL 6-max. I've mainly played STT SnGs and lately HU SnGs for the last couple months. Mcatdog suggested I should give 6-max ring a go, so gave it a shot. 3-tabled for 30 mins and made some money. Think I got lucky, but interesting how in particular my HU postflop play helped.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a bunch of hands and get some feedback on them. Sorry for posting so many at once, hope you can take the time to look through them.


Hand 1

I dont like how I played this from the turn onwards. How would you play this hand?

Hand 2

I dunno about this hand. I chase a OESD and on turn FD, but when the flush comes in its so low I dont bet it. I think I need to make a sizable river bet right? Not sure I like much about this hand either.

Hand 10

Hows this line? I use it a bit HU and its usually effective, but can get costly if I'm wrong. I dont have a good reason why I didnt raise PF. Possibly because it would look like a steal and he may 3-bet me and all I have is A7o...
