6-handed NL?

[Joost1982]

What is the reason you guys prefer 6-handed NL in favour of fullring? I guess playing 6-handed needs a different strategy. Does 6-handed play also involve some individualistic characteristics? (I think this isn't correct English. What I mean is the following: is it possible that some players "are born" to play fullring and others to play 6-handed?)

I like to play 6 when I am limited on time. The games don't last as long, and are generally a little more aggressive. It is easier to eliminate 5 than 8.

The edges you can have in shorthanded games are greater than in fullring. Thus, you are able to have greater winrates. Because you have to post blinds more often, both you and your opponent are 'forced' too play looser. This gives you an advantage, when you are better in using position and agression. You will also play more HU pots.

6x max also has more hands/hour, which means more bonus/rakeback. But yeah, 6max will give you a lot more heasd up action allowing you to outplay opponents.

I was born to play, period.

More chances for opponents to play bad

you play more hands... more chances to win money... more exciting... more experimental hands.... fullring is boring for myself as it is soo slow in playing each hand and waiting for a hand...
