    Default exclusive 6max player trying full ring

    ok, so previous to today I had only played like 30 minutes of FR, but about 400K hands at 6max from 10nl to 600nl with 100nl being my best hourly rate. Trying out 100NL FR on stars where I recently got supernova. Spoon's numbers showed higher rakeback% AT FR and lately the 6 max table selection is a lil weak on weekdays, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

    I will be going over renton's guide

    So far my observations, please let me know what I have wrong and/or might be missing.

    - Easier decisions overall. With more players, everyone is playing a narrower range save some fish. It makes it easier for me to read opponents' hands and play well vs. their range, while I can throw screwballs they don't expect.

    - 3 betting is the nuts, way more easy to abuse people than in 6 max

    - Often possible to be picky about which seat I have.

    - There's a lot more situations where there are multiway flops and multiple players will call. Betting strongly on flops is needed more frequently.

    - A lot more limping, so you can get dead money in the pot with a healthy raise and steal a pot with a cbet. Often only set campers will call or AK/AQ, and if you're not stacking off with one pair you can punish them by firing two bullets

    - Players don't seem as accustomed to blind thievery as 6max, i.e. button/co steals ranges/how to play in the blinds, 3betting from the blinds... a lot more people using the "check/fold" box in BB


    ok, so I probably screwed up and missed a bunch and have some wrong ideas, but what are some adjustments I need to make?

    its about right. definitely with regards to the blinds. people just don't defend all that often.

    I haven't played SH for a while, but from what I remember pots were contested more often. In FR, people tend to just let them go when they don't have much of anything.

    It's also a lot easier to exploit really bad players, because nobody else is.
