Answer 1

Short-handed.

While the pot sizes aren't as big, it's easier to read your opponents' hands.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that either was better than the other. I think that learning first how to play a full table is important, and that becoming proficient is short handed play takes a LOT longer. However, if you get bored quickly, short handed play may be preferred, simply because you're playing more hands, because the blinds get around fast enough to force action.

Personally, I prefer a full table, because I find it more of a statistical game, and I find the fluctuations less severe because of that.

Answer 3

I like playing at a full table. I love to read people and see how they play the game, it makes the game even more interesting.

Answer 4

i prefer full table ... a tight aggressive strategy works best at full ring. Shorthand tables tend to actually have bigger pots, since players play more opening hands and tend to be more aggressive with them both pre and post flop.

For example, if you are 2nd to act with Ace ten offsuit at a 10 person table you should probably fold .. but at a six person table you should probably raise cause it is likely to be the best hand

Answer 5

poker is a game of odds. at a full table the the odds are greater the a bad player with a lot of money is there.

Answer 6

I like short handed games. There's less outdrawing going on. You can put your opponant on a hand easier.

Answer 7

full table,aint nothing better then bluffing 8-10 people and winning big
