Default Re: Switching from ring to 6max..What do I need to change?

The great thing about 6max is that the fish think it's a huge change from 9-handed. It's not. Take any full ring hand where the UTG, UTG+1 and EP fold. Hey, now it's six max! But the play becomes much looser, meaning it's more profitable, which is why everyone likes it.

As for what you need to do, I would say not too much. You probably want to loosen up a bit. There isn't an ideal set of numbers, but something in the 23/9 range is considered normal for 2+2.

Open up your button and CO raising standards. You will have a lot more chances to open raise on the CO/BTN because there are fewer people to limp infront of you. Take these chances to raise more marginal holdings than you normally would. That alone will help you loosen up.

EDIT: I clearly type slower than Orange =).
