Short handed vs full ring

[GutPunch]

are there any threads discussing the pros/cons and which is better, Short handed or full ring?? Anything discussing why one is better than the other or why people prefer one over the other?

thanks.

In a full ring game, when its folded around to the last 6 seats, you are now in a shorthanded games.

Practicing/playing shorthanded will vastly improve your full-game skills.


The reason many people play strictly shorthanded online is that you get more hands in per hour. This means you have more chance to make both good decisions and bad decisions. For the good players, they will make more money multitabling shorthanded games than they would full games (assuming equal skill in both cases).

Also, you get way more action shorthanded and it improves your play at full ring.

AT full ring the guy with VP$IP of 36% is the loose guy that we all want a hand against at 6 Max he is one of the tight ones. Full ring you do well to find a table where 30% see flop, 6 Max if your table is 40% then you need to find a better table.

You really think 36% is that tight at 6max? This is strange considering we refer to 30/20 guys as lags.
