After that you can almost just play your regular 6max strategy if that makes sense to you. <br /><br />All a 6max poker game really is, is a full ring game minus the first 3 seats.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-53272535004402425932018-10-10T22:10:10.083+07:002018-10-10T22:10:10.083+07:00Nice job!

I think you are right about full ring but I moved to 6max and don't regret it and now I'm at 10nl instead of 25nl.I suppose I would just say that you need to imo be open to the challenge of 6max at some point as it is much more popular I find and much more helpful for true development of poker skill.

Mostly broke even, but noticed I was slowly losing. So I switched to cash. Pkaying .01/ .02. Am now ready to move up to .02/.05. I just keep learning. I realize I will onky really make money at higher stakes. But I have to crush it where I am before I move up. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522791340440624310noreply@blogger.com
