6 Max Texas Holdem Basics

Beat6max will provide you with a basic knowlegde of Limit Texas Holdem poker if your a beginner and then look specifically at the strategy for playing and winning at the 6 max tables or games with less players.

No other form of poker has the advantage of being so popular yet so little information available on the strategy of how to play 6 max limit texas holdem! This is why the game is a goldmine for the good limit players. All the poker books
you will find and all other poker websites are dedicated to full ring strategy (10 player texas holdem) or NO Limit.

6 Max Texas Holdem is a dream game for a good poker player, with more hands being played per hour and therefore more winning decisions for the better players. Typically the worse players are drawn to the game as its much more exciting than 10 player Texas Holdem because theres so much more action, more hands per hour, more raising and aggression and big pots. More money for the good player to win!

In the left hand navigation site menu I've split up the strategy of 6 Max Limit Texas Holdem into each of the betting rounds and from there further into hand relevant categories, for example Middle Pair on the flop.

Strategy post flop is highly complex given the vast number of possible scenerios you will find yourself in. The way I have tackled this is to provide a basic knowledge of what you should be doing and then providing links to highly relevant articles or forum discussions that I believe will be useful and offer much more useful knowledge on the given situations they cover. Also, by reading the whole discussions more situations are covered and also you tend to get a fuller understanding of why someone would make a certain play or make a certain suggestion. Also in poker there is not always a right and a wrong answer, so you get to read different players opinions and then take from both and decide what is best for you.

In particular when playing 5 max or 6 max hold'em games a number of strategy and game aspects become enhanced and even more important compared to standard full ring, for example player reads upon which you will base many of your own betting decisions. We help out here as well with the use of Poker Tools, some that make those player reads much easier to see and you should be using the data to help decide what descisions you should be making based also on who you are playing.


Beat6max.com does not aim to teach you a specific winning style. Hopefully we give you a good base for a winning style and you can use the site to develop further your own winning style, as quite commonly what works for one player doesn't work for all. I do intend for this site to maintain its position as the richest source of free information on 6 max and shorthanded Texas Holdem.
