Hydrogen bonding in concave rings

Can hydrogen bonding occur if both O and H are in a ring having 6 members however the ring is concave .
Example 
3 hydroxycyclohexanone




It doesn't work. The ring geometry holds the carbonyl oxygen and hydroxyl hydrogen too far apart. If you have a molecular model kit, construct the molecule with it and see what happens to the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.


Hydrogen bonding between *different* molecules is not constrained by the ring geometry, and thus works perfectly well.
