Is It possible to consistently beat 6 max???

[Sinnister]

I read in a rolf slotboom article that it was impossible to beat shorthanded games in the long run i was wondering if anyone here has success playing those games and if they would be kind enough to make a chart of playable hands from early to late pos. I think this would be one of the most important posts on the forum as shorthanded has room for great profit but not much literature if they are possible to beat consistenly

On the contrary, 6-max can be easily pwnt.

go read the HUSH forums. there are quite a few people there who claim to be beating the games, but only have sample sizes of a few hundred k.

Didn't you see the daily show tonight? They interviewed a gambling counselor. According to him, we're all going to eventually lose what we've won. Duh. No poker game is beatable. The rake is the only winner.

Death is the ultimate rake, and the house always wins in the game of life.

no. please avoid the party 1/2 and 5/10 6max games, they are rock gardens. in fact, I advise all winning 2/4 and 3/6 players to STAY away. in particular, stay away from the 2/4 and 3/6 shorthanded tables at UB. they are also very tight and tough, and there is never 6 to a flop action...

maybe rolf cant. but, he folds AKs in the SB to an UTG raise

Hi Sinnester,

I have never said that - in fact, I am fairly certain I have never said something that was even remotely close. If in fact you have read that statement, for sure it wasn't in one of my articles. Of course, it is also utter nonsense because lots of players (especially online) make very good money by playing shorthanded - some even play them almost exclusively.
