Default Re: Convince me to play 6-max

I think my post was misleading...

I have played 6-max before (have about 12K hands in PT of Party's 1/2 6-max game, as well as lower stakes) but find full ring to be more comfortable. I can comfortably play 4 tables of full ring without missing reads but, with 6-max, I get stressed at 3 and am only comfortable with 2. As a result, I actually get fewer hands/hour total playing 6-max and find myself in far more marginally +EV situations. I also have trouble getting the correct balance of tightness and aggression necessary for a 6-handed table. I'm probably at my best 3- or 4-handed, then 10-handed, then headup, then 6-handed.

I don't believe in always staying in my comfort zone so I'm thinking maybe I should give 6-max another shot and learn to cope with the things about it that make me uncomfortable in the hopes that that will improve my overall poker ability.
