5max vs 6max

Results 1 to 8 of 8

    Default 5max vs 6max

    What adjustments should I make when moving from 6 max to OnGames 5 max? Should I just play my regular UTG+1 from UTG? Is there anyone who has any thoughts on any differences of this game to 6 max? I wonder why they run 5 max rather than 6 max?

    what do you do when you are playing 6 handed but one seat is empty?

    id play from UTG as if i was UTG+1, I think id play from UTG+1 as if it was the CO, I might go so far as to play the btn the same in either setting though as well as the blinds.

    however if it ever gets down to 4 leave immediately as this is an unsolved mystery

    You'll be playing lots of 4 handed aswell, just play pratically as if first two have folded at 6m (you could argue about cards-bunching though I don't think this is very relevant here).

    Just try and figure out how to play vs the players / tables most optimally... I think the fact there's one less seat makes little difference. More importantly will be playing wrt table/player conditions.

    Ive just finished 100k hands at the 200nl 5m so if youre gonna be at these tables then hit me up if you want.
    Experimenting - 200NL 5max.
