About Weak Play
Hi,
I’m just curious, how should people look to utilize weak play in 6-handed high-stakes online games? And is there any difference between an actual value bet and a scared bet on various streets? And in terms of limping, how much is prohibited?
By the way, do you know the various means people go on in continuation betting situations both in and out of position, considering there is and there is no lead? And how significant it is to have a potential of playing from out of position? Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Sichevsky,
6 handed players exploit weakness by making more raises than normal or by playing small pot poker and seeing a lot of flops cheaply. When they hit, they punish their opponents.
A scare bet is a bet made based on a card that has hit the board where a value bet is made to try and extract more money out a player. One trend to look for is the size of the bet. Sometimes a value bet is smaller to entice players in. Of course, sometimes a scare bet can look like a value bet.
Limping isn’t usually permitted in higher stakes. Someone is usually going to raise. As far as continuation bet, most of the times players will make a continuation bet if they are the aggressor preflop regardless of position. Playing out of position is seldom a big advantage. Sometimes you can represent a big hand, but it is always better to act in position.
