10 seaters vs 6 seaters
Which is better for a skilled player, 10 seater paying 3 or a 6 seater paying 2? Does it really matter, or is it more about personal preference?

Re: 10 seaters vs 6 seaters
I'd think 6 seaters have lower variance and are quicker, but 10 seaters probally get a better ROI. I'd think for a good player, a 6 seater is just a 10 seater with higher blinds and 4 idiots already removed. Be interesting to compare hourly rates.

[/ QUOTE ] This is true if you look at a 6 seater as starting as a midway point through a 10 seat SNG...but its not. if, on average u have 4 "idiots" at a 10 seater to start...then at a 6 seater, you'll have 2-3 to start. The blinds start off small and stacks are same so actually you're playing more hands naturally and this will favor the better postflop players because of stack depths and frequency of blinds and ability to limp often. There is less push or fold and more play...at least I find. p |

No, I said 4 will already be gone. There's still probally another 2-3 at the table [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

If you are awesome HU doesn't it make sense just to play HU in the first place [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

If you can play solid poker until the bubble, exploit the bubble and play well heads up the 6 handed sng is a great fit. |

Re: 10 seaters vs 6 seaters
Aren't you pretty much in the bubble almost right away in a 6 player? Is it top 3 or top 2 get paid?
"but a heads up match and heads up at the end of a SnG are 2 different animals" How so? (I'm also talking about HU sngs not ring) |

Top 2(at UB) get paid in a 6 seater.

The 3 major differences between heads up at the end of a 6 seater and a heads up sit and go are: 1. You have already played against the opp. for a while now and have some idea how he has been playing. 2. Stacks are shorter, avg stack is generally between 22 and 45 BB (assuming heads up starts at 50-100 or 100-200 at Stars). 3. Stack sizes are not equal. So really getting heads up is very different than sitting vs someone you dont know and I think a good player has a bigger edge with this added info. |
