Default Re: What is the real benefit of 6max Limit Hold\'em?

Full ring has become so much nittier than it used to be. Even at micro-limits you'll see lots of games with an average 30% of players seeing the flop and 4-5 BB average pots. All the bad players seem to have flocked to shorthanded nowadays.

The problem here, and a possible reason for your frustration, is that many of the bad players at 6max are LAGtards as opposed to the bad full-ring player who is typically loose-passive. While the LAGtard's strategy is still deeply flawed, it's closer to optimal in a shorthanded game than it is as full-ring. So things are naturally going to be much swingier, and you just have to try and adjust.
