I've been on a tear recently playing 6 Max although I do think I have one major leak that needs fixing. When HU and you are in the SB, what should you do with Ax unsuited, high suited connectors (10 9 or 9 8 suited), pairs, etc. I've tried a variety of things, raising with them, limping with them and then usually calling a raise out of position, limp reraising with them or a combination of all three depending on how well the player knows me and how well I know the player. I know you should mix up your play but what should you do the majority of the time?
I find by limping, I am constantly reraised by the BB as it is important to take the lead preflop especially HU and tend to check fold if I miss the flop entirely.
I find by raising, I am called more than 60% of the time and am betting out of position and usually raised on the flop with the opponent's holdings being overcards, second pair, bottom pair or sometimes even nothing and I tend to put in more money than I should in a small pot.
Right now, I am limping more than raising especially if I don't know the player.
My image is pretty solid as my VPIP is around 27%. My PokerTracker stats say I'm playing my blinds really well as my BB/Hand for the SB is -0.09 and for the BB is -0.11 on a small sample of hands (12,000 hands).
What do you do with these hands and am I playing them right for my image?
