    Default 6max Analysis wanted

    Heya all, just started up 6max 50 NLHE last night and wow what a blast. Feels great being able to be really agressive and not just wait for hands like in ring.

    Which brings me to my point. Under the 6max autorate rules I got from 2+2 I'm considered an "Ultra-Aggressor", ie lagg. So far I'm down about 3 buyins after 1k hands or so. Not a huge sample size I know but I feel as though the majority of that money comes from being over aggressive. I'd like to change from Lagg to Tagg.

    My preflop strategy basicly consists of raise 4x BB + 1 BB for each limper with:
    -Suited connectors and one gapped suited connectors from 45s to JTs
    -All pairs (unless KK or AA in early pos)
    -AK, AQ, AJ,ATs,KQ,KJ,QJ

    I limp Axs on the button w/limpers. If I'm in the BB or SB suited connector or Ace I will generally check/call if their is no raise.

    I fold AQ, AJ, ATs,KQ,KJ,QJ, Axs, suited connectors & 1 gappers if there is a raise in front of me.

    I call raises with AK, AQs, JJ - 22.

    Any other hands outside the blinds I will throw away.

    I will reraise w/ AA, KK, QQ, and AKs preflop.

    After the flop, if I miss when I raised preflop I will lead out 90% of the time with a bet of roughly 3/4 the pot. If I get called I will generally bet 2/3 of the pot if I'm out of position on turn. If I'm in position I will fold to a bet from villain or check along if my hand hasn't improved. If I have a flush draw and the board is not paired I will do the same. Also if I have and OESD I will do the same betting on the flop.

    I will slowplay monsters and occasionally will slow down on other hands too. If I sense weakness I strike.

    My VP$IP is 21.49
    My PFR% is 15.52
    WTSD% is 24.29
    W$ASD is 46.67

    Heres an EV graph so far of my hands (It's a thumbnail).



    Any thoughts as to how I should change my playing style?
    Currently at UB playing $50 NLHE 6max.
    Bankroll: ~$1900 (Almost BR'ed for 100NL.)

    raise more in position (instead of calling), fold more out of position. preflop can only take you so far. big winners in 6 max are good at postflop play. specifically, they are good at reading hands.
