Well, I tried 6max NL today at the $25 tables for the hell of it. I knew I could play some good poker since it was money I didnt care about. I hit some good cards and within 30 minutes I am sittin with a $90 stack. After about an hour ive got a $125 stack. Not bad! I played quite aggressively and it worked out. Anytime I raised I bet the pot and got folds all around. Is this usual or just good opponents?

I think I just got really good cards, but it was nice coming in against 3 big stacks and taking them down to almost nothing. I showed a few made hands and from there on any time I felt like winning a pot I simply put in a bet or two. Once I had the huge stack, if I bet it was always the exact amount in the pot no matter what. These potsized bets could get pretty big, and I think I won a few nice pots just out of brute force.

Heres a couple hands so tell me if this is how its done or if I was too raise happy. These might look like obvious hands to some of you guys, but for me shorthanded NL play is a foreign concept and I wouldnt usually push so hard in a full ring with these hands.

I did lose about $25 bucks when my A high flush ran into a fullhouse (made off a 72o hand!)..is that something that is very easily avoidable?
