Re: Advice f/ a MHNL\'er Post #3
[ QUOTE ]
I think that every player takes a progression throughout their poker careers from full ring to 6 max, to 3 handed and HU play. The fewer the number of players, the more potential the game has for profitability. The reasons for this are fairly obvious. [/ QUOTE ] I'm stupid - how is this obvious? I would think the more players in the games -> more fish -> more money. whitelime did mention that there are more fish in 6max than in full ring, but does this trend continue when you get to 3handed and HU?

Re: Advice f/ a MHNL\'er Post #3
I think it's worth expanding on the fact that the games with the biggest pot sizes are not always the best games. I remember playing in some 2+2 games where the average pot size was twice that of any other game being spread at that limit... and they were certainly the toughest as well. If the big pots are being generated by lots of called bets and showdowns, then it's a good game. If the big pots are the result of lots of focused aggression taking down pots, it's not a good game. This is especially important to remember at Party where uncalled bets are counted as part of the pot.
Figure a .5/1 game... A couple people limp in ($4 in pot). Half pot bet on flop gets called ($8). Half pot on turn gets called ($16). River gets checked through. Or... someone raises to $4 preflop and SB calls ($9). One of the players bets $9 on the flop and the other folds. ($18) Similar average pot sizes, but certainly not at all the same.

Re: Advice f/ a MHNL\'er Post #3
Comparing 6Max to Full Ring, it has to do with the ratio of fish to decent players. This ratio will be greater in 6Max. As for 3-handed and HU, your edge isn't coming so much from the fact that everyone who plays 3-handed or HU is a fish, but rather that you can exercise pure game selection. Additionally, assuming you sit down with players who you are better than, your edge is now greater because you will be playing more hands with them and making more decisions.
