great 6max link

http://s3.amazonaws.com/ryanfee/fees6max.pdf , this guide is written by poker player Ryan Fee and it is a great guide for anyone looking to learn 6max...

The stickies in the short handed forum blew me away. They are incredibly good.

broken link?

yea it included the comma at the end as part of the link, its fixed now

In a perfect world you would play with 3 full stacks with VPIPs over 40 to your right, and two tight short stackers to your left, but this will rarely ever happen, its just something to think about.

disagree with this, you want all full stacks. The players to your left are more likely to be in pots where you were the original raiser, you have much less maneuverability against shortstackers who flat or 3b your opens.

I read parts over a year ago and I think I liked it but as a warning Fee's says he wishes he could rewrite everything in there.

Yeah I'm not really a fan of too many short-stacks to my left, at least not the ones that like to 3bet shove ever other steal attempt (fuckers). But hell, give me two 7/4 nits in the blinds all day and we have free monies.

But the money flows to the left and with shorties there, you can be sure less money will be going that way over time. I'm going to assume this is what the guy meant.

it's not really a terribly important point, but just to add my $.02 i think that TIGHT shorties are pretty profitable to have on your left. just so long as they like never 3b with worse than QQ+, AK, you're essentially on the BU for like half the orbit. and i've found that even shorties with nitty stats pre are like ZOMG I FINALLY HAVE A PAIR! ALL IN! or even go all in w AQo on a T-high board, so we can play SPR poker pretty proftiably post flop, unlike playing against full-stacked nit-sacks

yeah obv tight shorties are better than loose shorties but if we could have tight players to our left and loose players to our right I'd still want them all to be full-stacked--->more opportunities to outplay opponents for more money.
