I recently read (in this forum I think) that you can expect win rates at shorthanded games to be higher than win rates at fr games, is this true?
thanks.

The theory goes that short handed = you need to play more hands = more decisions = more room for mistakes for the bad players.

Also, when you're short you get to play more hands vs donks (easier to isolate).

Much of that is offset by the fact that you have to pay blinds more frequently correct? So in the end, with all other things being equal, is the winrate at sh games higher than or equal to that of a fr game?
thanks.

The other players pay the blinds more often too. A stronger player has more of an edge SH and I dont its close.

You also have some equity in the blinds you post, having to "pay" the blinds more often is a frequent misconception. The rake is higher, however.
