Little of OnGame

Got my taste tonight. I found these players on the 6 max table so confusing that I one tabled! Stats of 73/18, 45/0, 45/33 etc etc etc. Minbets, overbets, slowplays, overplays etc, etc. I finished up a buy in but never really got much going. headed over to HU and played a grinder, hit absolutely nothing. I was down about 1.5 BI's when I got it in with 88 for a coin flip, only he had JJ, gg. I grinded most of that back against worser players, but I still could have table selected better, as most guys I played were tight if nothing else. I ended up breaking even when I called an uncallable 3 barrel bluff down. His line made perfect sense, but I just couldn't put down KJ on a Kxxxx board, and he turned over A9 for turned 2nd pair. He actually played the hand OK, he just picked the wrong opponent :)

I'm probably going to mix in some HU now. 6 max should be a lot easier to multi table, but now I'm finding the reason I miss so much action is because of the amount of tables I have open. You have 3 donks on a table and are losing/break even, why? Because you only know partial reasons why they are donks. It's hard to get a feel for a player playing 40+% of hands, without watching a lot of those hands. I'm sure I would have broken even without some reads at that 6 max table. Still I'm sure this is just a learning curve for me, and I'll be picking up reads easier once I focus on what's really important and train my brain to follow those things.
