I was just wondering what you think ive been playing 6 handed on pokerstars alot and making some money in it. Which one do you like more I mean 10-handed less blinds you have to play but more people to worry about sucking out with, maybe ill try 10-handed when I get home to see let me know what you think?

Two different games. If you're a tight aggressive player, then 10 table, if you're a loose player and likes to see flops and raise preflop, definately 6 players then. Whatever suits your style of play best.

I played pretty tight in a 6 handed game and did pretty good just ran alot less hands then the other players.

I struggle with my short handed game -- adjusting to the aggression is tricky for me, and I have a much higher win rate at a full table, as I'm rewarded for sticking to premium hands. Many others -- including our host -- make big bucks at it.

6-handed has one added benefit: top 2 pay, out of 6 people, thats 33%. Top 3 out of 10 people is only 30%. That means, more spots pay out.

Just something else to consider.

Although playing tight may pay off there, if you play really good players at short handed play, those guys can probably steal a lot of hands. I just don't think it's the right way to play in the long term for short handed tables. I think you need to be a lot more aggressive and bluff more than normal.
