Great 6-max article

Apart from the occasional (1/week, tops) MTT and forum tourneys, it's all I ever play.

I still enjoy these games more than anything. Constant action baby.

I am thinking of playing 6-max, but i have a couple of questions for those of you that already do. First, I assume this article was written about limit 6-max. Do the same trends hold true for NL 6-max?

I have watched some 6-max $25NL and $50NL and can't believe the hands that are played and the manner in which they are played. Hence my thinking of taking it up.

I started playing limit and then switched to NL because it was more profitable. Is it recommended that when starting to play 6-max, play limit first and then switch to NL if the feeling comes?

And not to be a numbers junkie, but what are some ballpark 6-max preflop numbers for limit and NL? I am guessing, but for limit 35/30/4 and NL 25/20/3 or something like this?

Yes, it's a 6-max limit article.

I don't think you can say absolutely that NL is more profittable. A lot of the big money cash players play limit.

6-max limit should be around 24-26% preflop, with 17-18% raising. Post flop aggression can be anywhere from 1.8 to 3.8. I've seen successful players in those ranges mostly.

All that I meant by that was that it was more profitable for me at the low levels I play. If I have learned anything in poker, it is that there are no absolutes about poker.
