I normally play full ring on pokerStars at .50/1 and i almost have 500 BB which isnt enough for 1/2 but is for .50/1 6max and I was wondering if I could get some help with something that has me curious.
In these micro full ring games when it is folded to the button(doesnt happen often) these donkeys will often limp so when people do bet on the button in a 10 handed game i give them more credit than I would in a higher limit game and I was wondering if the players in 6 Max have anymore understanding of position and stealing blinds then they do at a full ring game.
Full Version: 6 Max Button Raises
Maybe not at 0.5/1, but in general, you will find a lot more open-raising and stealing in 6-max games.

Those are both a he!! of a run on sentence. I'm winded from reading those.
6max players do steal more often than full ring. At .5/1, it happens but for some reason 6max play at that level is somewhat passive.
I know you're talking about limit, but the same concepts apply to NL as well.
I'm more apt to raise from CO/Hijack/UTG in order to buy position with a drawing/medium strength hand than I am to raise on the button just for the sake of getting more money in, in position. It's also very tough beacuse at 0.5/1 position is worth less because donkeys think it's correct to call down all the way with any pair.

Let me clarify that I am talking about when it is folded around to someone in a stealing position.
Sorry about the run on sentences.
