Default Re: adjusting from full ring to 6max

A good full ring player shouldn't have to adjust at all the sh b/c they would just play their normal opening standards and outthink their opponents postflop. The problem with this assumption is that most winning players aren't necessarily great players. They win by playing tight and being able to push bigger edges b/c they can wait for their premium hands. Full ring doesn't force you to steal and blind defend to be a winning player like sh does so when most people make the transition, SH kills them b/c the 2 skills which are underdeveloped in their games (blind stealing and blind defending) are now much more important.

So what am I trying to say? Its still the same game so you just need to make minor adjustments and really focus on blind and HU play.
