Going back from 6max to full
 

I'm trying to play full games again and I realized I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I call down with ace high way too much. Every time I get raised on the turn, it's nearly always at least TP. I'm used to retards CRing me with the nut low. Can someone who has gone through the same transition (back to full from playing short forever) tell me what adjustments needs to be made?

Initially I found the switch quite difficult as well - I experienced going from full table to 6-max being easier because I was focused on playing more hands and remaining in the mindset "I probably have the best hand here" even if flop wasn't hitting me and so forth.

The biggest adjustment going back to full table is, respect turn CR more (as you mentioned), and but in HU - don't fold if you have a decent pair if the pot is large, but avoid calling down if you have nothing but overcards (obviously it depends on the situation and what stats you may have on your opponents). I also find it easier if I focus on calculating my odds to actually make the best hand and get out of a big multihand early if it is not favorable.

I'm not sure whether you'll find much use of my answer, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on it anyhow [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Start trusting your opponents more.

Moving from short to full made me realize that full poker is horrible and makes my eyes bleed. Why would you do this to yourself?

I feel exactly the opposite way.

Just when you think you know somebody.

amen, I feel for you brotha. But I strive to get better. Interestingly enough I am finding my short skills apply better than I thought they would in full ring games.

The thing is that the higher you play, the more short handed games (and short handed pots) you'll find yourself playing. 6 max games just feel like a MUCH better learning environment.

The only benefit to full games is the ability to play more tables at once, and doing that will make you grown hair in places you don't like and itch a lot.

I feel more than comfortable playing short at higher limit games, it's sitting at those little 6-man tables with hyper-aggressive retards that makes me start playing like a moron.
