Do you think more fish play full ring games or 6 max, or is it pretty even?

My personal belief is that more fish are in six max games. But there are some reasons for this that I think the full ring hustler community can and should address.

We can call this the Too Eazy theorem, although it's really common sense. Basically the typical fish is a recreational gamer/action fiend. They will not table select, they will merely sit at the first open seat. Most of these players come from some form of live game that is a full table (9-10 people) and therefore are actually naturally inclined to sit at these tables online, however due to the nature of the games tables in full ring are generally waitlisted and thus always full. I think regs should suck it up and start more new tables with 4-5 of them playing a few hands so that fish will sit in these open seats. If more regs did this then I think we would see an immediate impact and fishier full ring tables. That being said, the average full ring regular is generally much worse post flop than the average six max player, so you can pick up the slack coming from lack of blatant megafish by exploiting these tendencies if you're decent. Personally I feel that my edge over regulars combined with the added hands/hr I get playing 12+ tables means full ring is more beneficial for me short term. (It is bad long term because I am not improving my own play at nearly the same rate I would playing in the six handed games).

And I really believe the winners need to start forming more tables on their own when there's say only 6 3/6 tables running and theyre all full + waitlisted 4 deep. It's just common sense that the fish will sit at the first available seat.

I'm glad you brought this up newb cause this is something I've wanted to discuss at length in this forum in the past.
