Question 1: I've been playing SH for the past couple of months. I've accumulated almost as much experience SH as Full. I've noticed the play is much worse SH than Full ring and I feel I have a much greater advantage. The difference however, is that my winrate is not even close to what it was full ring. I've also talked to a few friends and they also confirm the findings. This seems very counterintuitive b/c the play seems worse @ SH. Do other people find this to be true? Do any of you guys have significantly higher or lower (+/-.5bbs) win rates in SH or Full ring?
Question 2: MP2 open raises in a full ring game, I'm on the button and see AJo. Is this an easy 3 bet? Its analogous to saying, UTG raises and I'm OTB in a 6max game. To me thats an easy 3 bet. How bout KQo? I would routinely 3 bet in 6 max but what about full ring? |

as far as question 2, it depends. On the norm, I'm three betting with a fair amount of hands when the MP2 opens. KQo and AJo are pretty easy three bets IMO, A8s+ a fair amount(where the dividing line is all depends on how much the opener opens and what they tend to open with). KJs sometimes, and most likely 66+

The variance in shorthanded play is way higher than in full ring. You are pushing much smaller edges and will vary pretty significantly from your true win rate.

I've played over 100k hands full (2/4 and 3/6), over 150k hands 3/6 SH, around 40k hands 5/10 SH a handfull at 10/20 SH. My winrate at 3/6 SH was around .6 BB/100 hands higher than at 2/4 and 3/6 full, but these sample sizes are still way too small for that too mean anything. From my experience, I feel that the 5/10 SH players are significantly worse than the 3/6 full players and that my winrate should be significantly higher. Unfortunately games change faster than winrates converge, so I we will never know for sure.
As far as 3 betting AJo after an MP2 open in a full game: the only difference between this situation and a UTG open on a 6max table is the aggression of the opponents. In SH this is a 3-bet because an average opponent may have a PFR of around 15%. In full ring, an average PFR might be 8%. It really depends on the player who is opening. Likewise if a sane 42/7 opened from UTG in a 6max game, you would want to fold your AJo. |

The rate at which you pay your blinds will effect your winrate. Shorter games mean more blinds, which will bring down your BB/100, all other things equal.

UTG full ring and UTG 6 handed are entirely different spots. It's how close you are to the blinds that matters, not the order you act in.

In 100 hands at a full table, you pay 10 big blinds and 10 small blinds.
In 100 hands at a 6-max table, you pay 16.67 big blinds and 16.67 small blinds. The more often you play those positions (which are -EV), the more negative effect it will have on your winrate. Unless i'm just missing something obvious. -d |

By your logic you'd have to be a loser HU or 3 way because you're in the blinds practically always. |
