#1 The table plays MUCH faster.
#2 You can play more starting hands.

Both good points. On the other hand you get more "free"(i.e. non-blind) opening cards playing a full table. It also seems that profitable play is a little more straightforward on a full table as you have to normally play a little looser/less quality starting cards on a short-handed table and bluff/steal blinds more.

In any case, I'm more comfortable now on a full, but I need to try to improve my short-handed game, if nothing else for home tournaments and SNG's where it obviousy becomes a short-handed game very quickly.
