Default Party 5/10 FULL game, Good?

Most players move from 3/6 to 15/30, did or does anyone play the 5/10? It gets overshadowed by the 6max, so I was wondering if anyone here plays it.
Thanks.

the 5/10 full is a very rockish game in my opinion, and not nearly as profitable as the 5/10 6max, which also teaches you more concepts you need to learn to beat the 15-30 game

i recommend moving ot the 5/10 6 max after 3/6 full

You guys are crazy. 5/10 6M is a rock garden. I think all competent 2p2ers will have much better luck in the full games. I'll tough it out in the 6max cuz I'm a masochist. Anyone who knows how to play poker, however, should stay far far away.

almost everybody seems to move from 3/6 to 5/10 6max. the full games aren't that good to begin with and the 6max teaches you the conecepts you need to know about short handed pots and play in general, which helps a lot when moving up. i easily have the br to play 15/30 right now, but would rather put in some time at 5/10 first. jumping up from 3/6 is probably a really bad idea.

Ok, I'm sorry. I was just going to leave it as a sarcastic response, but this issue really bothers me.

Anyone who says that the 5/10 full games are a "rock garden" does not know what they are talking about. Or they are just plain impatient.

Are they "better" then the 6-max games. I really don't know as I only have 5,000 hands of 6-max. I now have 27,000 hands of 5/10 full. I three table and have never had any trouble finding a decent game.

I play Pokerstars, Party, Absolute, and UB. If those sites are having a off night I open the PokerRoom or Paradise.

Do you have to be more conscious of table selection? Yes. The one thing I will agree with, is when you get on a tight 5/10 table, it can be really tight. But with all the tools that we have available to us, there is no reason to spend more than (2) orbits on such a table.

The only point that I will concede, is that for an 8-tabler it may be difficult to find 8 really good games, but from what I hear this is also true of 3/6 these days.

Anyway IMO the stuff you hear about 5/10 being a rock garden, is every bit as inaccurate as the crap you see in the micros about 1/2 full being a rock garden.

I don't know how it was in the past, but I just replaced 2 3/6 tables w/5/10 full, and the games were reallllllly good. many pots were 6-7 handed. I really didn't play this game in the past, maybe it has changed.

I agree completely.

Good post. I just didn't take the time to spell it all out.

The only thing I have to add is that the fish in the 5/10 full are a different brand of fish. As Bob T once said, as you move up in levels, the edges you push get smaller. The fish at 5/10 full I really noticed can find the fold button with a greater amount of frequency.

This is not such a bad thing, it allows you to take down a lot of 4-5 BB pots using aggression.
