    Default First post in SH.. standard spot

    Villain is running 23/14, only read on him is that he doesn't seem capable of folding top pair.

    I'm starting up some 6max for the first time ever.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP ($140.50)

    Button ($124.50)
    Hero (SB) ($246.50)
    BB ($110.10)
    UTG ($101.40)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K
    2 folds, CO bets $3, 1 fold, Hero raises to $12, 1 fold, CO calls $9

    Flop: ($25) 9, 10, Q (2 players)
    Hero?

    I would c/f in hand 1 unless he calls too wide
    so a reasonable range pre would be SCs, AQ, 77-JJ, AJs/KQs since he's IP
    unfortunately nothing but a very small part of their range folds the flop, only the lowest pps and lowest scs
    and even though you're ahead of hands like AJ, he's going to call flop and probably bet turn when you check to him because that's what donks do in 6m

    hand 2: easy fold OOP, closer if suited

    yeah, you're right. okay let's say they're suited then. 4b? call? what type of player for either action? a little lost in spots like this

    1) c/f
    2) fold

    well if it's KQs, then flat vs. a guy who has a 3b in the double digits and if he's as aggressive post-flop then felt any flop with top pair, like don't even bother seeing a turn just raise when you hit it and get it in because you're gonna have a lot of stacks going in on boards like QT8ss with him having JT or flush draw or JJ

    if he's not 3bing you that much just fold even if it's suited ldo
    also, if he's super aggressive pre sometimes KQo is a good hand to 4b/fold because you have blockers vs. KK/QQ/AK
