How low can you go? (vpip)
Hello.
I recently moved up to the 3//6 short handed to test out how the games are. A friend of mine told me the short handed were great for him at 5/10 and 10/20 on party. Anyways, I just started and I know I don't have many hands played (1k hands), but I was wondering if im not playing enough hands/aggressive enough. My vpip usually hovers around 13-14 (my friend makes fun of me all the time [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )whether it'll be full or 6 handed. |

I HATE blanket statements like this, but I really don't think it's possible to win even at 3/6 playing so few hands. I'd draw the line around 17

Thanks for the replies. I guess ill have to either practice and get this weaktightness out or go back to ten handed. But the 6 handed tables look so juicy its hard not not to try to learn.

It should be significantly higher 22-26. 13-14% VPiP is a losing strategy. Rocks get killed in 6-max because they aren't getting full value from their hands. You should be raising more hands then you're currently entering the pot with.

Don't play shorthanded for a while until you've become a better player. Then you can consider it again.

Re: How low can you go? (vpip)
Obviously experience is the best way to become a better player. I'm probably way over my head with 3//6 short and party doesn't have a a 2//4 short. Any recs on possible games I should try besides party 1//2? I've have been playing 2//4 recently and have had a faur amount of success but I feel playing there won't help me much in terms of the short handed games

Re: How low can you go? (vpip)
Definitely try .5/1 or 1/2 SH until you can feel comfortable playing far more hands. Don't expect to learn too much about postflop play for higher limits, but there are donks at every level and you'll still learn at least a little.
Edit: Also, the advice to wait is very good too. |
