I've never been a short-handed player except sometimes live and in home games. Online, I always go with 10-handed games.
Now I am beginning to wonder if this is an error. I've always thought that 6 handed games would be more difficult because:
1. It seems it would be more difficult to build a pot.
2. The blinds hit you faster and harder.
3. Mistakes would be greatly magnified.
Now I think I am probably wrong on all of these points, but I don't know why. I'd like to know why 6 handed is better than 10 handed, from some people with experience at both. I know that it's said that the players are much worse at, say, Party in the 6 handed 5-10 than in the 10 handed 5-10, but is this really true??
Any advice or insight appreciated.
