My focus is full ring CG and I do okay (although running bad at the moment). That being said, I get owned in 6 max. I would imagine as an entry level game it could be disasterous at worst and involve big swings at best.

Once I pull my dumb butt out thisx current slump I'll get around to making a full ring video. (mostly so I can get critiques from the forum)

I haven't played a (cash) hand of full ring NLHE since.... never, I think. Not online anyway. I've played it live numerous times, and of course most toureny at 9/10 players.

That said, I think for someone learning the game, full ring is the way to go. Once you are comfortable (and consistently winning) there, I DEFINITELY recommend moving to 6 max though. It's faster, more fun, and IMO, more profitable - at least for my style of play (I get very bored at full ring and tend to play too loose). You'll need to open up your game a good bit for 6 max.

I know some people say to pretend 6 max is like playing full ring with the first 3 players having already folded, but I don't think that is 100% correct. I guess it's an ok starting point, but it's still different. 3 people folding bad hands slightly changes the chances of the remaining players having good hands. Forget that for now though - 6 max is a (much?) more aggressive game, all around.
