This is like so unbelieveably important that I think this alone gives you a huge edge. You take your ego and you leave it at home when you play, no wonder you've accomplished a lot this year already.
Lol, thats the general idea at least. Sometimes its hard to do what YOU really want to do. Peer pressure is a bitch.

But seriously, just do what is natural for you. I have a friend who loves 6max but keeps trying to force FR because I have done well there. What he doesn't understand is that, while I put up with playing 6max from time to time, its really not my game.

I could probably become proficient at it, given time, but right now its just not high on the list of priorities. I much prefer the FR game where people's ranges are much narrower, and therefore, easier to identify. It is a weakness in my game that I can't hand read as well as I would like to, but that is why I am playing the variation that allows me to use what skill I DO have to its fullest extent.

I may not be developing as a "well rounded" poker player right now, but I'm ok with that. I'm learning the skills that are needed to beat the game I am playing. I got nothing but time, so I can learn 6max, HU, whatever else I feel like it after I get settled in.
