Basically I see FR as a game of nut-peddling and 6m as a game of steals, resteals and playing your position. <BR/><BR/>FR simply takes way less skill and I want to get better, but my MO right now should be profits, not progress. I'll probably be taking shots in the future too but not before studying 6-max long and hard.<BR/><BR/>Again thanks for the input guys.ChuckTshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299930564340132080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903999383774317038.post-39057885701527489342008-03-04T13:28:00.000-08:002008-03-04T13:28:00.000-08:00imo 6 max is more about aggression than 9 max, but...imo 6 max is more about aggression than 9 max, but that's with limited exposure.<BR/><BR/>And whatever is going on in ones personal life, especially if it's negative, can feed into how you play. Some people seem capable of keeping things separate but I'm one of those that the balance of desire/frustration/aggression/confidence needed to play poker properly is so tenuous that it easily gets knocked askew.<BR/><BR/>NineLionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903999383774317038.post-60052927336219474262008-03-04T11:19:00.000-08:002008-03-04T11:19:00.000-08:00I think 6max is just a different game.

Personally I've tried a few sessions at 6max and gotten killed. I'm also not positive but isn't the rake higher there? (not percentage-wise, but when the same rake is only split between 6 and not 9 it's bigger per person)<BR/><BR/>If you can win like you do at full ring, I'd stick with that, unless you have some other reason other than attempting to profit for playing 6max.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you're back on track.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352205799814899565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903999383774317038.post-77507394883333589242008-03-04T11:07:00.000-08:002008-03-04T11:07:00.000-08:00Nice to see you back in the groove Chuck.

If you KNOW life is bothering you, then it'll effect your play - undoubtedly. <BR/><BR/>You need every edge mentally to stay one or two steps ahead of the competition ... so I'm not sure why you are dabbling with "ash pipes" and liquor. It's a waste of time, only kills brain cells, and numbs your ability now and in the future to make decisions.Icemonkey9https://www.blogger.com/profile/10446988527536156978noreply@blogger.com
