    Default 6max. Second pair, Jack kicker in the BB

    I used the FTR default format and this was perfect.

    We've had a lot of great 6max. discussion lately and I think people are a lot better at 6max than they think here because everyone's been hitting the nail on the head and saying that they suck at 6max. or they don't know a thing about it, etc.

    Anywhoodles, here's a very common occurrence. UTG (58VPIP/21PFR), MP (37/8) are guys who I have 500+ and 600+ hands respectively. With no reaction on the flop and the lo pair counterfeiting on the turn, what's your play? What's your approach to the river if you plan to see it?

    Ultimate Bet 10/20 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Preflop: ChiTown Alex is BB with T, J.
    UTG raises, MP calls, 3 folds, ChiTown Alex calls.

    Flop: (6.50 SB) Q, 8, T (3 players)
    ChiTown Alex bets, UTG calls, MP calls.

    Turn: (4.75 BB) 8

    Personally I'd bet the turn. there are a few hands that beat you that may fold to another bet (KT/AT type hands), typically that 8 is the best card in the deck for a hand like yours, could have anything from the BB

    UTG is loose but not crazy aggressive, so he has to have a decent hand to raise with

    MP is semi-loose and semi-passive, so again he needs to have a hand to cold call a raise

    If I'm called and don't improve I check call the river

    If I'm raised I call and pray for a Ten or the beautiful 9, and fold to a river bet if I don't improve

    We can't put them on 9J after a UTG raise and cold call, and that 8 is pretty scary to those type of hands they would raise and call a raise with, especially with you being the BB.

    If you check you may as well check-out, since one of them will bet now

    I'd probably put at least one on a FD.

    I'm just starting 6 max so I'm just going to throw a suggestion of a line out there, just as something I would give a strong consideration to. Maybe it will generate some discussion (unless it's a horrible idea).

    What about a CR here?

    We called form the BB which can mean we could have called with almost anything just on the odds, so we can represent quite a bit from here.

    If we bet, call, fold UI on the river it's still the same amount of bets (assuming we don't get 3 bet) which would probably be from TT or QQ and we know we're beat.

    What are the chances we get either a free SD or even people to fold?
