I don’t have much idea about 6-handed high-stakes online games. Let’s say in a particular 6-handed high-stakes online game, how frequent does a call in position slow down a lead bettor, or other way around, post flop?

Do the players have to anticipate more bluffs along the way? How about big pots with weak hands, how common are they? And by the way, is check-raising the turn without a super strong hand common at tables? I’m after of the answer as I believe the turn is the most crucial street that will mostly likely affect any player’s over-all game.

Thank you.

Dylan,

1. Slowing down a bettor with a call in position will depends on a couple factors. First, how aggressive of a player are they? What is the texture of the flop? What do you put them on for a hand?
2. Big pots with weaker hands are more common than at a ring game, but a lot depends on the makeup of the table. With a six handed table, you must widen your range of hands to be competitive.
3. The frequency of players check-raising without a hand depends on again on the makeup of the table. It is more common than ring games of course, but also depends on the players read of their opponent etc.
