    My question is whether or not it is more worthwile to play the 6 or 10 handed games. I have been playing the .50-1.00 6 handed games and make about 2.75 big bets an hour which seems good. Would playing in the 10 handed games provide more money or does it just depend on the players playing. It seems in these 6 handed games I get a lot more equity (fold equity?) because i limit the field as much as i can with hands as bad as J-x some of the time. Any advice on what to do would be appreciated. I'm also looking for the best cardroom in the vicinity of Cleveland, Oh. I turn 21 in Oct. and am looking for a decent place to play.

    It all depends about your of play really, ive played a lot of 6 and 10 handed 10-20 games and the swings in the 6 handed games are a lot bigger than ten handed. When it comes to making more money for your quality of hand 6 handed is the way to go because usually people will play faster and looser. But for just grinding it out and steadily making money 10 handed seems to favor the more solid player, 6 handed is a lot scarier and faster and if youre not comfortable with playing k 10 suited to a raise then its not your game.

    I dont play high limits but i do play both 6 and 10 person tables quite regularly. i find i dont make any more or less on either, but i just play completely different on both. If i catching cold at 10 person i will go play aggressive at 6 person tables or if im getting my bluffs all called down on 6 person tables i switch to the 10 person tables and tighten up.

    But i really dont think you can make any more or less playing 10 person or 6 person.
