One of the adaptations i'm having to make at 10/20 6-max is that I'm actually having to fold to turn raises again. Its been a while...

Really? I make the exact opposite adaption.

Yep. If you're folding to more turn check/raises in 10/20 than in 5/10, something is seriously wrong.

I think stripsqueez is exactly right for what it's worth. the 5/10 seems very passive to me mostly.

I think it can go either way. In selecting tables, I usually try to find a pretty weak/passive table, and have had great success at that. But in the past few days, I've been on tables with a maniac or two and bluff-a-holics. I think you can find whatever you're looking for.

Is the difference between 5 and 10 really that big (haven´t played 5 for more than a year)?

Heads up, young paladin and defender of all that is +EV, others have defeated the demons spawned by the hell of 5/10-6max and you can slay them too!

It's a passive game. There are maniacs and lags but most are passive. Learning this is important.

most of the players are passive sure, but the games are aggressive.

I'd either cap the flop or raise the turn.
