You talked about moving from full ring to short-handed. I was wondering how your play in terms of number of hands played changed? You mention a lot about playing better hands then your opposition, and obviously you still did this short-handed. But what hands did you start to incorporate six handed that you wouldn't generally have played in a full ring? Was it more a matter of position and playing it, then it was playing more hands?

Thanks.

Honestly, I don't really feel qualified to answer questions on making the switch from full table to 6-max or shorter. I've only been at it for a little while now. Maybe in a month I'll have a better understanding of some of the nuances.

I do know the biggest thing at first is that you just have to sit down and do it. For me, and I've heard other players express the same thing, there's a psychological thing about starting up shorthanded. A leariness or a fear or whatever. That's the first hurdle to clear. And I don't know any other way to overcome that except to recognize your wariness and then play thru it at short handed tables.
