6 MAX

[gotigers1234]

I just switched from FR to 6 max about 5k hands ago. My first thought is there are a shit ton more fish at 6 max. I am getting to showdowns with fish showing all types of trash. Have most of you found 6 max to be more fishy or is it just looser or both? I am glad I made the switch the game actually seems exciting to me again.

Funny, because I just started to mix in FR. I'm doing equally good there. Better actually, but sample size...

6Max is a lot loser than fr for sure. The variance can be a bit more as well imo. When you first make the switch it can really seem wild in comparison.

I too have recently switched from FR to 6 max and find it more enjoyable as well. My game needs to improve, especially post-flop, so I'm playing 6 max to force me to open up a little bit and learn to focus on reads and position. I'm only playing 1 table and starting over at 2NL. It definitely is more variance, but not terrible for me so far. As far as fish go, I think folks just play looser (which is not necessarily fishy), but some tend to be too aggressive (which can be fishy), or too bluffy (at this level is definitely fishy). Either way, if you're winning and having fun it's a great place to be.

When I first started playing I feel like I made more money in FR but learned more at 6max. I can't promise that will be the same for you but being forced to play more hands will usually result in hand reading better.

So far I have made about 4 buyins at 5nl so only 20 bills. One thing that is getting me is calling shoves with sets when someone has a str8. This almost never happened in FR I guess b/c people don't play that many S/C oop but in 6 max people will call pre 3x or 4x with basically any two cards. I think this makes set mining almost impossible b/c they play such a wide range that even when your set hits you are not up against TPTK you are now facing multiple draws. I think if I can work this out and learn to fold to flop raises I will be a lot better off.
