Hi from Chester, California.

On vacation here at Lake Almanor with no internet access at the house, only at the coffee shops in town. (Coffee Station for any locals out there.}

I think of it as "Will this hand be profitable? If so, how should I play it to maximize profit?" That concept applies from 2 to 9 opponents. In general, in 6-max, you have less chance of running into AA-QQ, more aggression preflop with wider ranges, and a little more aggression postflop, with some players going nuts. So, you adapt. In general, you still want position, you will get all-in more often on average than with FR, variance goes up, and the temptation to spew and be inappropriately hyperaggro goes up for some people.

The question with 6-max is specifically adapting to the differences. REM and SPR offer a start. I'll write more about specific adaptation to 6-max in volume 2 unless Sunny beats me to the chapter. Hopefully that will be helpful.

I here the generalists loud and clear, and the 6-maxists. What would be more interesting to me is a book on Adapting, not just to 6-max but to any game.
