Shorthanded SnGs

[JeffreyGB]

Anyone play 'em much? What are your thoughts on the differences between them and full tables? How does your ROI compare?

Would you be up for a chat sometime?

I played a few (maybe 50) on FullTilt and VC, they are 6 handed.

I dont think I adjusted well to them, I had mostly 2nd and 3rd place finishes.

My conclusion from this very short sample is that you have to play them more agressively then regualr Sngs (even turbo ones). Your speculative hands (SC, low PP) go down in value early since there are not many multiway pots.
Gaining a big stack early seems like a bigger advantage here then in a full table one.
All and all I quit playing them, mainly because only 1st place get any decent amount of money out of them

I play shorthanded quite often and my ROI is pretty much unaffected (though only over a few hundred SNGs).

When I'm playing speed/turbo games I like to play 6-handed because you get through a lot more hands in the limited time than you would with 9/10 people at the table. 6 seat speed/turbo also seems to fit well multi-tabled with normal 9 seat tourneys.

I'm not completely comfortable with every aspect of 6-handed and haven't got to the "short tables" chapter of HOH2 yet.

Would be happy to chat but you should know that I play at a much lower stakes than you.
