Hello friends!!

Actually, I always play very well in 9 handed poker table from the beginning of my online poker journey.

But, I have some problem in playing short handed tables.

My playing style is nitting. So, if you can suggest me such as i have to lose my hole cards playing for 6 handed table.

If you have anything more to ask about my nitting style, then i will tell you here.

Just give me some suggestion here...

This is the time when you have to open your range and be aggressive using your position. I assume that this is a tourney and you already have the image of your opponents. Play aggressive against the nitty ones, don't engage the aggressive ones if you don't have good cards.

Try some of the single table SNGs and you'll be mostly likely get used to this once you are six handed or even lesser.

why do you move to short handed if you are doing so well in 9 man? It is very important to learn how to play the position and get info about the other players. i tottaly agree with deluns that be agresive a bit with nitty ones and do not push your luck too much with agresive players..

Apology, so this is for cash games..

Shorthanded tables are more aggressive than usual. Your blinds will be taken out by occasional positioned raiser. Try to reraise sometimes or widen your range but get ion the pot as a raiser.

6Max isn't more aggressive. It just seems that way because people will be playing more hands. Not necessarily playing those hands more aggressively, mind.

6-max plays the same. Look at them as 9 handed tables without the UTG positions. It is logic that you can play 50% more hands because no one is raising with a strong range from the first 3 positions.
