| This looks standard as long as you got the rest in. I mean the flop action is annoying because you're probably behind pretty often, but I don't think it's often enough to fold. |

What? Especially at 10NL, I don't think he is behind very often at all. Only 22, 2x, 55, and overpairs beat him. Overpairs better than TT are pretty unlikely, although still a possibility. I see people pushing in this spot with a lot of junk hands at 10NL here and he is miles ahead of their range, especially given the pot odds. This is a fist pump call imo. |

Really? This doesn't reflect my experience at this level. I think I'm behind way more often than I'm ahead. I made the pot odds call (actually RRAI to get his last .50 into the pot), but definitely didn't add the fist pump. |

| In my experience, I see people push there with 66+, overcards, A5, and sometimes other junk in this type of spot. Its been a while since I've played 10NL, but this how I remember it. I wouldn't really that much credit to it being a crai seeing how its practically a min bet. I think this is overpair that under your TT or overcards often enough to make this a call. |

| There's over $9 in the pot. You already invested $2.60. It'll only cost you $1.90 to call, and another $.50 to put your opponent all in. Any play other than pushing is really bad for those pot odds. |

| Thanks for your comments, the move to 6-max has been tough on my bankroll, winning lots of small pots, and losing big ones. I'd like to get a handle on it before my b/r takes too big a hit. |

Its true that your swings are a little smaller at 9 player tables, but it should increase your BB/hr to play 6 max. For me, my BB/hr greatly increased over my switch from 9 player to 6 max, that I made about 2 months ago. So over the long run, you should have more money, even though the swings seem more significant. |
