On PokerStars I usually play at the 6 tabled games only because I figure there to be more profitability at these tables. The players at the lower limits continue to be more generally weak and it just seems like steady money taking, whereas at the 9 table your much more likely to run into a better hand?

Thoughts?

you're going to run into better hands at the 6-max tables, too.

all poker is about is making correct decisions. Short-handed, you are forced to make more decisions per hour.

i agree...i focused on full table for a while and then switched to 6 max...it is quite an adjustment and i was defiantly -ev for a bit until it started clickin... 6max allows for more profit but it also allows for more loss...ur post flop game has to be a lot better as there will be a lot more marginal calls that have to be decided on...

yea, i meant statistically though less likely to run into better hands.

I dont want to of course use the word bluff, but statistically you should be playing more aggressively 6 handed as opposed(sp?) to 9-handed.

it is true that its not easy enough to put somebody on a big hand..but that isnt always a great thing...makes callin with marginal hands harder

say you have k6 and flop a king and another guy bets at you? 9 and 10 handed its easier to think that ur most likely beat....6 handed though u have to start wondering if hes betting with middle pair or did he catch the king also with a higher kicker or is he bluffing...while u can play looser they too also play looser
