What is the real benefit of 6max Limit Hold'em?

[Norb]

This question might sound ridiculous to most of you but it's the essential question that I'm asking myself at the moment. I'm playing Hold'em now since about two years. I started playing full ring Limit, moved then to short handed Limit (6max) and started successfully playing short handed NL in the meantime.

Whereas I succeeded playing full ring Limit and short handed NL in the micro/small stakes, short handed Limit is a thing that drives me crazy! I don't lose but I also don't win. It goes up and down, up and down and I can't get any edge.

It costs me the same attentiveness playing simultaneously two full ring Limit tables than playing one 6max Limit table but I make really a lot more BB/100 on the two full ring tables. Therefore I get more and and more doubts, whether it makes any sense playing 6max Limit. I don't want to demonize this short handed Limit game at all because at least it improved my skills a lot and with this additional knowledge I gained a lot more at the full ring tables and this knowledge is even useful for playing NL but that is the only benefit for me.

I'd like to discuss this point wit you and I like to hear about different points of view. Maybe somebody has a clue what my problem is.

Thanks for discussing this with me!
