How K6s compares

Suitedness is worth 35 extra shove spots here: K6s is a shove in 94 of the 225 solved spots, K6o in 59. From the 6-max Button K6s shoves up to 11bb and K6o up to 6bb.

Hand shape: the king blocks some of the kings and big aces callers continue with and being suited adds flush equity when it is called.

K6s is an edge hand in 14 published spots, where the Nash solution mixes it: 6-max CO 10bb (60%), 9-max CO 10bb (60%), 6-max BTN 20bb (38%), 9-max BTN 20bb (38%), 6-max CO 8bb (66%), and 9-max CO 8bb (66%), plus 8 more. In a true Nash mix both options earn about the same against the equilibrium callers, so a consistent default costs little.
