6 or 10 seat SnG?

I do a lot better in SnG's than tournaments. So I was was wondering which is better to play? Like for roi, percantage for chances to win, etc., etc.?

I like the 10 seat turbos....take about the same time as a six seat regular, but the up side is greater. Just have to adjust your play a little more as the field dwindles.

Depends on the style you like to play, as well. A full table non-turbo lets you be very selective in your starting hands. But, if you like loose and aggressive play, 6-max tables would probably suit you better.

I don't like turbos much at all. I feel that they give an advantage to luck over skill. What I'm saying is, regular blind structure tends to make the sng last a bit longer, so you're the blinds aren't going thru the roof which tends to get more coinflip races goin' on in the later stages (which come earlier). I feel that the reg. blind structure is an advantage for the more 'skilled' player.
If you're a patient, tight aggressive player, you may just have more chances for cashing over the longhaul in the 18-player sng's (top as opposed to top 3 cashing). I also prefer 9plyr. over 10plyr. just due to my having more experience on this table size. Some folks swear by the 6-handed games,... I personally prefer the 9plyr. ones (6-handed, the play needs to be a bit looser from the get go).
I find I do quite well in the sng's if I remain patient. There are numerous occassions where I'll be sitting near the back of the pack, only to bounce up into 1st or 2nd on one hand (or two). If you watch the table closely, you'll see the loose maniacs chipstacks growing rapidly at times,... igore it,. more often than not, they will be losing them just as rapidly in no time at all.
Patience with well timed aggression. Pick your spots and get your chips in on the big pots when you KNOW you've got the best hands. Watching while mucking your hands for the first stretch, not only will you not be risking a portion of your stack while going after insignificant blinds BUT it will also give you ample oppurtunity to get a decent read on the other players on your table and how to adjust your play to each of them.

I like the question.

I think it depends on your mood at the time. If you feel a bit less than on top of your game, but want to play, the slow 10 seat would look more attractive.

If you had to much caffeine, or energy drink just 10 minutes ago, then the 6 or 10 seat ULTRA Turbo (2.5 min blinds) 6 seats at Ultimatebet might be just the fix your looking for. The 10 seat UTs seldom last 40 minutes, and the 6 seat seldom last 30. Don't come with your passive game though.....

I like the 6 hand tables

The game is more open, and goes a bit faster. The only problem with 6 handed is that it is a higher rake, well not exactly, but you need better placements to retain your ROI.

I used to play at a six seat site, but now play at pokerstars where Im struggling a little due to my inexperience at full tables.

I think I do prefer the full tables though just need to get used to it.
