at Zach, the connection is that there is more action and stacking off a little bit lighter which should mean more getting paid off
probably true but it also means you're going to be blown off your
hands much more and simply cbetting so much will not be as effective. Also remember that they stack off light just because you're
bluffing a ton. Like I said, a good way to not only make money if they don't adjust and get hands paid off if they do is to just bluff a lot more. Is there a particular line they don't pay you off hardly at all when you have a hand? Take that line as a bluff more often.

also i think i just need a change of scenery (and 6 max is way more fun anyway)
And that's fine, I still think people make a way bigger deal of the difference between 6max and FR anyway. The other thing is that at the 6max micros there is still a lot of weak/passive stuff going on.

as to the semi nitty stats, i have already realized ill need to loosen up and def 3-bet lighter once i move up but i feel like these are ok for those stakes, ive also started raising most pocket pairs from most all positions so that will make me a lil less tight
15/13 is not nitty at all. In fact I'd class you on the laggier side at FR, at least among regs. But if you are trying to open up more I would advise more raising a huge range from button/CO than opening pairs from EP. I just think opening hands like 22-66 from UTG or UTG+1 in FR is not very smart unless you have to do it to balance your range. Personally I haven't seen basically anyone trying to exploit me and I basically raise AK/99+ UTG and UTG+1. Sure anyone good with hand ranges is going to be able to read my hand insanely well, but mostly I'm just worried about getting money in preflop with a pretty premium hand and if someone starts playing back a lot I can obviously just start stacking AA/KK against them even if they just flat preflop. I just think raising low pairs is not going to be very profitable in EP and I'm assuming it's not needed for range-balancing so I don't think raising those just to help stats is a very smart move. Of course if you're winning with them just keep doing what you're doing. I just know from my database in the past it has not been a very profitable move for me and I know most people I've talked to have said the same.

what im worried about is kinda over-adjusting, i mean i've watched most of Chuckt's and BW's videos on 6 max and im kinda afraid of lossening up 2 much and spewing by 3 beting/stealing too often
Honestly I think that has more to do with stakes. I've watched some high-stakes FR videos and seen some 1knl-5knl hands where for example someone calls off 77 to a preflop shove because they think they're ahead of villain's shoving range (or at least getting
odds to call against it). I still think the difference is over-exaggerated and that it just depends on the opponents. At 25-50nl the 6max players are much more passive than 200nl+.

also about winning many small pots thats what i basically have going on right now, ive cut out all the calling oop with stuff like AJ and weak pairs and am much more positionally aware
Nice, yeah I really think that any calls oop should be the exception rather than the rule.

sometimes though i feel like all my poker knowledge would serve me great at $50nl plus but isn't so aplicable at my current level
That's good because hopefully you do make it there and when you do you will be ready to own it
