I did some searches, but couldn't find anything. I have been wondering what a good BB/100 hand is when playing shorthanded? As far as I understand it should easily be higher than when playing longhand.
I'm still fooling around at the .25/.50 level, but with my longhand play well on my way towards 300BB for 1/2  [edit: I mean 0.5/1 of course]

So there's actually no real point in playing shorthand instead of longhand?

Ah, yes, I see. Now, that's a pretty good point.
As I guess you all can I sense I'm a newbie. Would it be best for me to focus on longhand og shorthand for now?
Thanks for the answears guys.

You'll also pay more rake shorthanded.
This can be a good thing if you are getting rakeback.
Playing shorthanded limit is probably a little tougher than full ring. It requires a lot more marginal decisions.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

Sometimes a little 6max can do wonders for a weak-tighty.
Regarding the original thread, you are killing 6 max if you can average a 2 bb/100 winrate.

I'm going to disagree with the commonly-made statement that you should be good at full ring before 6-max. It's true, you will lose more bets starting with 6-max than if you start with full ring. However, the extra initial investment is well worth it, IMO, because you will learn poker so much more quickly by playing 6-max.

Interesting.
I'm currently on a 400 BB bankroll for 0.25/0.50. My first 300 hands went really fantastic, I earned 10BB/100 hand. Then in just one hour, I guess in about 80 hands, I lost all my earnings, and I'm now at -10BB. All the time someone hit 2-pair or trips against my AK etc.
Low-limit games are often filled with people who will call you down all the way to the river no matter what - any thoughts about this concerning 6-max in regard to what strategy to apply?

I have always been a better 5 or 6 amx player than a full-ring player. Maybe it's cuz I like to play more hands.
