I have just started playing 6Max limit almost exlusively. Starting 3-4 weeks ago w/ $65, I built my weenie roll playing low buy-in SnGs, micro-NL, and other various forms of cheap poker. My roll is now over $600, which properly bankrolls me for $1/2.

My questions are these:

(1) I have heard that some people advocate an additional 100BB's for 6Max / shorthanded play. Is this true? 300BB's seems like plenty, IMO. But I'd love to hear your opinions...

(2) The more I play 6Max, the more I realize how drastic the swings can be. This is fine, but what can I usually expect? 15-20 BB swings per session? More!?

(3) As a new member, I'm sure there are things I've missed. Any general pointers regarding 6Max play? No cold calls ... raise or fold from UTG ... lol. Anything else?

Hi Aeq-

You probably just missed it in the description on the forum index, but this is a no limit forum. I don't think they have a forum dedicated specifically to shorthanded limit, just the regular limit forum that is inclusive of 10 and 6MAX. You can find that here:

In answer to your question... it depends...
