-how about getting proficient at both NLHE and LHE ..thats what I do I play a mix of both. I wouldnt suggest mixing both to start out thu but in time you can mix both.

-the faster you can learn to play 6MAX/5MAX at either game the better. FULL games are a bore and you will make much more playing short.

-the money is in short-handed play. I find short-handed NLHE is the most efficient way to break the bad players. Much more often in NL the poor players are drawing stone cold dead..this happens much less than in LHE...but NLHE games need to be populated by poor players to be worth it-if not short LHE games with 2-3 donks will suffice.

If you learn to play both NL and LHE you can jump into the best games of either and make good money. It's all about game selection-get into the good games..

If I could choose the most profitable format it would be either LHE or NLHE short. Assuming both lineups were comparable and had 2 or 3 poor players at a 5 or 6-man table I would play NLHE over the LHE every day all day long--it's just so much easier to punish the fish.

If you cant find a decent lineup to punish people in nolimit revert to planB and play short limit holdem..always keeping an eye out for good games.

Same goes for getting out of tough NLHE games-when you see it find another game. I am uber-nit on game selection.
