I know it's horses for courses, but some players prefer Heads Up, while others 6 Max. There is nothing in common beyween the pair, as both games require different tactics and strategies. One possible difference is that in HU you are playing the man more than the cards.Any thoughts?

Are you referring to cash games or tournaments?

I prefer a short table in both cash and SnG. It is more enjoyable for me. There is no reason not to both. In most of the hands you enter in, you are playing the person.

I would prefer 6 max over heads up. Just a personal preference. I think the HUD heads up is not needed and its all about playing the player where as 6 max a HUD can be useful. Its just when heads up the stats are so over inflated I feel they become useless.

I love HU. And clearly much more psychology and leveling in this type of games so it is also difficult to multitabling when you have to be constantly adapting. There is less 'autopilot' so to speak. I would love to play this mode but unfortunately it only starts from NL50 in most rooms so i play 6max.
