6-handed has one added benefit: top 2 pay, out of 6 people, thats 33%. Top 3 out of 10 people is only 30%. That means, more spots pay out.

Just something else to consider.

Although playing tight may pay off there, if you play really good players at short handed play, those guys can probably steal a lot of hands. I just don't think it's the right way to play in the long term for short handed tables. I think you need to be a lot more aggressive and bluff more than normal.

I like 6 handed, but it seems to go down to 2 or 3 handed very quickly. that is a bit too much for me. I like to play with 6 or 7 players at a table, so its a fine line.

Yeah, I do the exact same thing. At a 10 handed limit table, due to me sticking to the premium hands and playing aggressive I can make good profit. But in a six handed game, I try to play the same way and always end up breaking even or coming out slightly ahead due to the blinds.

And I'm talking about ring games, not SnGs

For some reason, I've had better luck the last couple of days going 6 handed.
