No. Been tried before, has failed every time. 6 max live = too short and falls apart. [/ QUOTE ] hmm why does it fall apart?

Live players prefer full games. When games get to 8 handed, players start taking walks and bitching that they have open seats. Then more players get up and games break. If you start 6 handed, the second it gets to 5, forget about it, it's going to fall apart.

Venetian has said they will be spreading 6-max games upon request, I don't know however if this has actually taken off since the word came out last month or so. Its a silly concept if you think about it though, they should just start new tables shorthanded instead of waiting for 10 players or more on the list

Re: do any brick and mortar casinos in vegas have 6 max nlhe?
Any number of things including casinos wanting to charge full rake at shorthanded games (the V does not), people wanting to play full games where they aren't in the blinds 33% of the time, etc. Then when one guy gets up to go to the bathroom suddenly it's 5 handed. Etc.
Where does this suddenly widespread perception that every regular is a "nit" come from? "Rock" would have been a better word for what you described anyway. Or am I being nitty?
