Hi all. I'm a cash player that will be taking a shot at the WSOPc when it comes to town. I've played a bunch of FR MTTs with good results, but I've never played a 6-max format. I'm curious what adjustments I should make to my pf ranges. I know I will have to open up a bit in all positions, but would like some input as to how much. This is what I've come up with so far:

UTG: 55+, A7s+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, A9o+, KQo

HJ: 33+, A4s+, K7s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, A7o+, KJo+, QJo

CO: 22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q9s+, J8s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, A5o+, K9o+, QTo+

BTN: 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q5s+, J7s+, T8s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 65s, A3o+, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T8o+, 98o

SB: 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J4s+, T5s+, 96s+, 85s+, 75s+, 65s, A2o+, K2o+, Q5o+, J6o+, T7o+, 97o+, 86o+, 75o+

(I know this is all player/table dependent, just looking for some general guidelines.)

I'm an aggressive TAG (borderline nit in EP) in FR MTTs and cash games, so BTN and SB seem very wide to me after looking at it again. Is this crazy loose?

Also, I know a lot of the better, more aggressive players play the 6-max events, so how wide should I be defending my blinds vs good players?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Ranges seem fine, a little loose in the BTN and SB, would work well against complete nits in the BB but against a thinking player he will probably own you a lot with 3 bets and just call you down frequently. But you already know that ranges change depending on the players.

You're right to assume that 6 max generally favors more aggressive and thinking players, you simply cannot wait for good cards, you have to raise even with mediocre holdings.

Depending on where the raise is coming from I would defend your blinds quite vigorously, obviously fold absolute trash but I would almost apply the same range from the CO as to my blind defending, you want to give the impression to your opponents that you're blind is not something they can frequently steal, because come towards the later stages of the tournaments, winning those rounds of blinds and antes are key to building that stack.

just play your same ranges that you normal play except for there is no ep seats like in fr
dont fold your bb

forget opening ranges, open atc and 3! 4! like a maniac, defend all BB and flat-4! at least once an orbit

or play tight

either way works
