1/2 6 max is where I'm hanging out now. A few weeks ago Kaishan posted some excellent starter links for getting started, including a very good starting hand chart.
It's very different than full ring, but it's even fishier than .5/1 IMO and more exciting and faster paced than full ring. I'd suggest 400BB br for 6-max. Let me see if I can find that link for you....
