Default Re: Is 6-max really an ATM machine?

But it sounds like you've got a good thing going at 10-max, why try and master a new style if you are already profitable?

Deception5 explains why 6-max is good for one's overall game

If you crave action - then 6-max. If you like predictable (for poker) winning - then 10-max. 6-max is faster and more volitile than 10-max.

I don't agree; or at least, not entirely. 6-max is busier than full ring, to be sure, but it doesn't mean that you go in there "craving action". You don't need to juice up your aggression stats by a point or two to succeed there, and if you're trying to, you're probably spewing. I've played a fair amount of each and my standard deviations for the two games aren't substantially different. If someone finds themselves losing more/less at 6-max, it's at least partially because he/she is just playing more hands.
