6-max experiment part deux - over (for now)

I decided to look at my entire poker history and see if I've done better at FR or at 6M and then I am going to focus on that for awhile.

Here is what I found:


NL/PL 6M:

NL/PL FR"


Old New

Old New
Hands: 141K 64K
Hands: 341K 8.8K
ptBB: -0.5 (0.36)
ptBB: 0.78 3.50
VPIP/PFR 15/8 12/8
VPIP/PFR 12/5 11/6
Aggression: 2.56 2.82
Aggression: 2.32 2.47
P/L -399.6 *-688
P/L 1751 229

As you can see from above, I've faired better at Full Ring vs. 6-max. I've really not done particularly well at either, but based on the above, I'm going to focus on full ring more. I think full ring fits my game a bit better as I just don't think I can be as open and aggressive as I need to be to be successful at 6-max. I still do need to open up my game and my aggressiveness at full ring (my VPIP/PFR need to be much closer together than they are - I'd really like to be at 15/12 and a 3 for total aggression factor).

Specifically what I'm going to do, is the same plan I had for 6M. I'm going to play 10K hands of NL/PL50 FR. If I have +3 ptBB/100 after 10K hands, I move to 100NL/PL. If I don't, I play another 10K hands, regardless of my bankroll. I will not move to 100NL/PL until I hit at or darn near 3 ptBB/100 for a fairly significant sample. I figure if I can't do that at 50 NL/PL then I have no business playing 100 NL/PL.
