Short handed
There's so much emphasis on the differences between Limit and NL, but I almost think the difference between six and 10 players at the table is so great that you can sort say there are four kinds of Hold 'Em.
I do fine in NL SNGs when it gets down to the final few players, but have learned the hard way to stay away from short handed NL cash games, at least for now. I'm just not comfortable with the hyper aggression you need with top pair when there's a possible straight on the board, at least when it's real cash. The difference between NL chips and cash would be another great thread ...
That said, I do think that if you can master/stomach short handed NL, your BB's an hour can potentially far exceed a full ring game.
