6 player max games

Ah, I see. Well, I certainly won't ay I'm right and you're wrong here, but I will say that I suspect there is a leak in your shothanded game... namely your Q5 suited type of hands. These hands are worthless in any limit game.... NL is a different story entirely (just ask Gus Hansen), but in limit, playing "big-little" is a losing proposition in the long run.

You may be right. The thing is, I'm very tight unless it gets short-handed. I'll fold a 8 in early position everytime, for instance. Also, I've been making some pretty damn good BB/hour rates lately so it's hard to see if it's hurting me or not.

So, what I'm going to do, is make note of how many times I play these hands and see what the results are when I do. I'll do it for 25 hours and see how I fare.

Thanks for helping improve my game.

PS Do you play at Party and under what name? Maybe I'll look you up for a friendly competition.

NO MORE K SUITED IN LATE POSITION. DIDN'T TAKE 25 HOURS.

Hey, no problem - Talking (about) Poker helps me improve my game too...

One thin to keep in mind - Playing in a 10 seated game the gets short seated isn't the same as playing in a 6 player max game. Yes, there may be 6 players in both rings, but one is people used to playing a full ring, and you can probably exploit that better than the people who have been playing 6 max all day.
