| It depends. If you're tight, you'll probably be more comfortable at full ring where your hand selection can be closer to what you're used to in the early levels of tournaments when the stacks are deep. If you're on the loose side, you may prefer 6max where you're basically forced to play more hands than at FR. |

| re: new to ring 6-man or 10-man? poker I agree, full ring to start out even if you're not a nit, it'll be a cheaper learning experience as I don't think you'll get punished quite as bad for mistakes there. The action at short handed tables is fast and furious and good players will make you pay if you don't know what you are doing. Once you're comfortable and beating Full Ring, if the action is too slow for you give 6 max a try. |

| I think you will mostly find 9man online, not 10man. But to answer your question I would just play whichever one is more fun to you. I think most people just naturally gravitate to one or the other. It may have something to do with personality. Some people like the more robotic nitfest that full ring can be. Some people like the increased action and speed that 6max has to offer. Or you can just play both. Many high stakes players actually do mix them for increased table selection. I wouldn't really recommend mixing them at the micros though because there are more than enough tables going at either. |

| havent played much ring so i assumed 6 man and 10 man was the norm as a correction i realize now 9 man tables are the norm and they usally have a waiting list so i'm able to watch the table before i join i have to say tho i am enjoying the 6 man tables they seem more active and easyier to read the players habits totaly diffrent game compared to tournys tight is not always right i am learning to change up my range of cards ... cheers for the info and comments folks |

| If you cant decide, why not try them both at 5nl. You will not lose anywhere near as much, while you get a great feel for both of the game types. You can then make an informed decision as to which game you prefer. And about the 10 man statement, as a pokerstars and PKR player they do in fact have 10 man tables at pokerstars for limit holdem, and PKR for all types of holdem. |

| re: new to ring 6-man or 10-man? poker Definitely go for 6-max.. full ring is for braindead morons who don't really understand poker and love rpessing fold. 6-ma actually requires some skill and judgement and I think is definitely +ev and you don't randomly start spewing because you haven't played a hand in a while. |

| Ignore any advice based on the premise that there's a single right or best answer that applies to everyone. Some people and their play styles are better suited to 6max, others to FR. Plus there's the enjoyment factor to consider. If, for example, you try both and find you enjoy FR more but have a higher win rate at 6max, it's completely fine to decide to play either, or a mix of both. As a recreational player, you don't have to maximize your EV. In addition, 6max is not the only way to play more hands. You can also play more FR tables. There's often a kind of an implied assumption of playing equal numbers of tables at once. But there's nothing that says you have to. |
