Re: LC - Why don\'t you play 6 max ?
[ QUOTE ]
theres also more very good regs to deal with in six max. [/ QUOTE ] There's also more donkeys at 6-max tables. The action-junkie types that run into the nuts every time at FR usually move to 6-max. I play both and i like both. But they are different games. A single FR hand is more complex, there's always someone trying to trap you, and you are always trying to trap someone. An individual 6-max hand tends to be simpler. In 6-max, straightfoward aggression plays a much bigger role. But on the other hand, since you can't avoid a player the way you can in FR, playing the player become more important.

[ QUOTE ] I played 6-max for most of the first 1/2 of this year. The variance is gross. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Try limit if you want gross variance. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Mathematically speaking, limit has a lower standard deviation.

A lot of people will say "I don't mind the variance since I have a big roll and I know I am a winning player at NLXXX". While this may be true, try saying this after losing 15 buyins without having made many errors in your play. I had this happen recently at 6max. I reviewed my sessions and found a few errors but not too many (I'm sure that I have leaks in my game, but I am also fairly sure that I am +ev at NL50). I think that very few players at low limits have the mental strength to play through downswings like this. I certainly don't and I needed to stop for a few days to recover my confidence.

Re: LC - Why don\'t you play 6 max ?
I play full ring because my first instinct when I get raised on the flop is, "OMG HE HAS IT!"
Where as to play 6-max your first instinct has to be, "this guy is full of #$%@!"

Re: LC - Why don\'t you play 6 max ?
Lately I have been playing 6max hoping it will improve my FR game. My game is better suited to FR than 6max and Im willing to do whatever it takes to improve as a player.

[/ QUOTE ]I have gone from full ring from about Sept 03-April 06 and then 6-max from April 06 until now and I feel the play in 6 max has helped my full ring game enormously. I now play both with about the same wr in both. [ QUOTE ] I would like to know people's thoughts on this. How has multitabling 6max gone for people? I would assume it is close to impossible to 12 table at significant stakes [/ QUOTE ] I find it impossible to 12 table 6 max but I don't find it hard to get in the same amount of hands per hour.

Re: LC - Why don\'t you play 6 max ?
Mostly because nearly everyone on this site is playing 6-max. That leaves me to believe (along with my results at both), that the fields at the FR tables are filled with a higher percentage of bad players.

Re: LC - Why don\'t you play 6 max ?
I play full ring for the same reasons you do. Its the game I play in the casino. And my goal was to move up. Also, my style of play was more suitable since I play a TAG style. I also had a tendency to play a bit bigger games than my bankroll suggests (not really anymore) and there were much bigger swings in 6-max which I dont handle very well.
Then I found I can play a good profitable game playing full ring.
