what do you guys prefer. A 6 max table or a full ring game. I can see the qualities of both but for me its 6 handed for sure. I can't stand waiting for the nuts every hand. I like to play flops and read it from there

When I played mostly full I had to play 8 tables to get my fix.6-max is the cure.

woo 100% for 6 max...yea i do like shorthanded games because i am aggressive...i used to play only full tables until i read SS2 NL section and its all about aggression so i feel 6 max provides me with more hands to play post flop

6 max is the one thing I love about online play as oppose to casino play.If there weren't 6 max tables online I doubt I would play as much as I do now.

I haven't really become accustomed to 6 max tables yet. I still prefer the full table experience.

i prefer the max because i often multitask while i play and i usually can still make a profit playing very abc poker. 6 handed involves a little more creativity.

I like full games as well, I tend to do very poorly short-handed, not sure why.

yeah i like the 6 max because of the creativity of it. 10 handed its hard to make any kind of move w/o being caught. Very frustrating at times

I prefer full ring game, mostly because I'm more familiar with the ranges of hand strengths I need to call, raise, or fold for preflop play.Plus, more money at the table (even if 6-handed is more volatile).Plus, in 6-max, playing the player comes into play MORE so than playing the cards. I like thinking that low limit online poker is largely an objective game with mathematically correct or incorrect decisions.Lastly, the variance is "less brutal" at full ring as opposed to 6-max.
