Re: Does 2+2 have a book that covers 6Max?
I would recommend the HUSH forum.
mebenhoe had some sort of starting-hand chart for 6-max that must be in the archives there somewhere (or you could ask and someone could dig it up).
Playing by a chart isn't exactly great poker....but it helps get your feet wet on this 6-max thing if you're the type who has been WAY too tight-passive while bonus-clearing on crypto and absolute on the full-ring tables.
FWIW - I started to learn it by actually DOING it.
I bonus-cleared at 1/2 6-max. You get the hands faster anyway.
Still had a lot to learn though.
6-max is LOTS of pre-flop raising....and lots of blind-steal attempts and blind-defense.
Lions and tigers and check-raises and semi-bluffs, OH MY!!
If you were a 14/5 player at full-ring then that just isn't going to cut it at 6-max.
Even 20/11 players get told "play more hands. raise more."
25/18 or something like that is more like it.
You shouldn't be aiming for a specific number of course....just giving you some ball-park ideas.
In other news, we are hoping that someday in the future they split HUSH in 2-different forums for low-stakes HUSH and medium/high stakes HUSH.
Also - I agree with the advice on King Yao's section...it's decent (although not great) as well as the How good is your limit hold-em book by Bryan Jacobs.
