Cash 6 player .05/.10 100 Hands Up $3.99 Blinds ate $2.80 Rake $1.39

Not too much to write about this. Harrington Online book says it's better to learn with 6 players tables so I bit the bullet and did that for 100 hands. I basically used his guidelines for tight play based on position and the range of hands to open with. I mainly had two hands that paid well.

Hand 8 I had Ad 8d and the flop was 3h 8c 8s giving me trip 8's. I checked and let the other player bet and called. On the turn I checked again  and then doubled the other players bet. He called. On the River I bet a little over 1/2 the pot and the other player folded. I picked up the $6.51 pot and was up $3.13.

Hand 74 was the other nice one. I'm UTG w/pocket 6's and open raise 2 1/2 BB ($0.25), rest fold to the BB who calls. Flop 5d 5s 2c. Well at least there were no over cards. SB checks and I bet the pot ($0.55) and SB calls. Turn 6d. I hit my set and have a FH since the board has paired 5's. SB checks and I bet the pot again ($1.65) and the SB calls. River Js. SB checks and I bet the pot ($4.95) which will put the SB all-in w/their last $2.78. I expect them to fold but they call. They show 4s 5s, having trip 5's which looks pretty good on the board and I'm sure why they called my last bet. I win the $9.81 pot and have $15.80.

I had to give some back in other hands when  bets I made were raised by a significant amount and/or my blind steal didn't work for the same reason.

Anyway it was nice to be on the plus side. Next I'll give it a try with a 6 person Rush table, that has been even more my nemesis than 9 person where I do poorly enough as is.
