Why is 5/10 short handed good training for 15/30 full

[bilyin]

I am a winning 5/10 full player looking to move up. Most here advise that one should beat the 5/10 6-max first to learn aggressive play. Arn't 6-max totally different from full tables. A heads up hand in a six max is a totally different situation from a game that is 10 handed but ended up being heads up. So, shouldn't playing 10 handed the way you play 6 handed cause one to be too loose aggressive?

well if you assume that the 5-10 6max tables include people who think and play decently 3-5 way, then yea its good training...its an oft used analogy to look at x-people fold in a ring game situations to normal shorthanded situations b/c there are no statistically significant changes in the deck distributino in holdem (where there may be in games like lowball...& kansas city)

so playing in those situations prepare you for those types of players...but youreally should learn how to adjust fromthose games as well...texture changes quicker in short games since everybody plays more hands...

but in order to play any game you need to practice that game
