Late Night 6 Handed Poker

So I delve into some late night 6 Handed $5/$10. I ended up having a losing session of $340. Here are some hand histories I was going through that cost me some money last night.

I am going to complete the SB with A4 suited in a short handed game all day long. I especially love the reraise with botton pair on the flop, but he gets lucky on the turn ...

Nothing worse then raising a 4 flush on the flop for value, hitting your flush on the river, but getting outflushed. I shouldnt have put in the 3rd raise, lost an extra $20 on this hand then I should have, but either way still sucks ...

This is a really good example why you dont call a raise with a weak ace (especially offsuit). I think the time 1:30 AM had something to do with this hand ....

This guy had been raising my blind like every hand and I thought I finally had him, flopped the ace, then turned top 2 pair ......http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?page=view&hand=107053

OK these last two hands I saved are my true bad beat hands, this one really sucked ...

And finally the hand that made me throw up a little ....

I guess as 'addictive' as short handed play can be I still have a lot to learn about its nuances and shouldnt be playing it at the $5/$10 level from both a bankroll insufficienty as well as a lack of experience. Looking back through some hand histories I could have saved at least $100 or more.

Current BR - $3520

If you think 6 handed play is addictive, try 2-3 handed play. I'm totally hooked on it since I started propping. I love headsup limit so much now, 3-4 handed is great too.

DNA, you should get some tips from FCP's WRTO about playing short-handed limit:
