why shorthanded won't prevail online

I normally play 2/4 full games at Party, but during the day I 6-table 1/2. Ever since the problems with the software, I've even been playing 0.50/1 6 max.

I don't know if it's to do with the new software, but these tables constantly break up. If two people sit out, that table is history.

Today I wasn't playing poker, I was constantly searching for new tables. I think I sat down at 15 tables in 15 minutes.

I don't know how it is at 3/6 or 5/10, but the lower levels 6 max tables at Party have serious problems in sustaining games.

I'm glad - multi-tabling full games is a lot easier.

Why shorthanded won't prevail online?

It's been prevailing since the dawn of online poker!

I've been playing .5/1 6-max on PP exclusively for the last two months and while I will occasionally have a table break up (maybe 1 out of 5) most tables will usually outlast me (I usually play 150-300 hands per session)

You are so right. This shorthanded crap will never work.

You sir, are correct.

You can also point towards the fact that there are always more Full Ring games going than the short handed ones.

While it seems like a decent concept, it just won't get off the ground because we all know the fish like to play tight poker and wait longer in between hands.

The new software on party certainly isn't helping. Changing tables is a huge pain in the ass with all the problems that the lobby is having with updating.

These problems will help the people stay at their 6-max tables instead of getting up and leaving. Fish and I don't like to wait.
