It is definitely a whole different animal. There is even this "maniac" style that is pretty profitable that is starting to catch on a lot, and people are running over the 6 max tables like madmen. I would definetly be interested in learning more...
Definitely. I was crushing 6-max games with around a 50% VPIP, but when I started playing ring games again I was getting killed trying to run over the table like I did at 6-max. Since then, I've reverted to my old tight aggressive ring game strategy, and now I'm consistently winning again when I play full tables. Shorthanded games are all about aggression and outplaying postflop, whereas ring games are more about camping for big hands
