Default Full ring poker seriously blows (low content)

No real point, I just find that every time I check out a full game I end up hating it.

Still in a weird gap between 1/2 6m and 5/10 6m... I tried to pull up some "short" 2/4 tables.

Of course, they filled up and I ended up playing full for an hour and a half. Booooorrrriingggg. And tight.

I spent a good a year playing full. It is absolutely horrendous. It is is boring, less profitable, more robotical and you get less rake back. The cons are overwhelming, truly.

Especially in 10/20, where the full games on party are just down right awful.

Can someone explain please how the rakeback on 6 max is greater than on full games?

You play hands at a much higher rate.

More hands / hour + you're contributing 1/6th of the rake, instead of 1/10th.

For shorthanded games, I went from Party 1/2 to Stars 2/4 to Stars 3/6 to next stop Party 5/10. The Stars 6 max games are much softer than the full ring games. It's especially nice since I had a bunch of Stars bonuses sitting waiting to be cleared.

What kinda nice is the Stars 6 Max games? Weak tight or maniacal? I have some bonus $$ to clear at Stars aswell. The fullring games are horrible.

How much do hand values change in a 6-max game? I play Party 2/4 full, but would like to check out comparable 6-max games with a little knowledge before I dive in.
