I just 'rediscovered' Shorthanded play while clearing a bonus at PS. I've had an amazing run of luck but the players seem absolutely terrible (see my previous post in this forum here (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=headsup&Number=1433134 &Forum=f8&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=143313 4&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=14361&daterange=1 &newerval=1&newertype=w&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyp rev=#Post1433134) for details).
But that isn't the topic here. What I'm curious about is the much-discussed winrate. It seems like the hands per hour can be easily double those at full ring tables, or at least a fair percent faster. At the same time, 'proper' winrates don't seem much decreased. That is, I don't hear discussions of how at a full ring 2-3BB/100 is proper but at 6-max 2BB/100 is very good.
So, hourly, does that mean that a 6-max player is making far more if he plays the same number of tables?
By the way, I know that you can compensate by opening more full ring tables and get an equal number of hands per hour. The only reasons this is pertinent to me are the limited number of quality PS tables, and the ability to have reads on more players (20 players at four full 6-max tables, versus 54 players at six full ring tables) with the same number of hands.
I guess you could call this a blinding flash of the obvious, but it puts things in a very interesting perspective. That and I'm enjoying being what at a full ring is insanely aggressive. It's a little stressful but I suppose it's a male thing, pushing people around. (Oh, and I don't think I'm very good at this, just very lucky... with only a couple thousand hands at 2/4-3/6 I can't say, yet, whether it's a lot of luck or just some).
