I adjusted my game reasonably quickly and did not have a ton of issues. That being said I saw an absolute ton of on line dudes NOT able to adjust and they disappeared from the scene.
I personally think that playing 6 max and then hoping to play 1/2 live is not the best route...and I am sure that there will be a ton of posters saying ya bro no problem u can do it.
I came from full ring - had played a bunch of live in the past - am a pro/had been one for a very long time. I had to make a lot of adjustments. As someone trying to learn I think moving from a 6 max online aggro dynamic to live 1/2 setting you are going to have some serious spew issues.
Can it be done? sure. Optimal - nope
Appreciate the response, although I'd like more responses if possible!
Makes complete sense, I just can't find myself playing 9-max Online unless I opened 15+ tables. The game is so low and nitty for me. I understand that is how LIVE poker will be majority of times.. but I feel as though the way I exploit on 6-max will be still relevant to bad players Live. The money in 1/2 live just seems super juicy to me.
Thanks again for the long response man, it's highly appreciated!
