| Do you mean sort handed or short time span, i.e a small tourny ? Short handed there is a lot more skill involved in my opinion as you are having to make a lot more decisions and it is decisions i poker that deermines the skill. | ||

| On the other hand, in short-handed games you have to play a lot more hands. Since poor players already play a lot of hands, you lose a significant part of your edge against these players. | ||

| Hi Short handed games require better "play of hand" skills. Patience becomes a much lower factor as shorthanded games require that more hands be played. The swings are higher in short gmaes, but the better players have a higher hourly rate. Roy Cooke on 23.

Indeed, bad players play better shorthanded, but you can still tear strips off them because you have a much easier time isolating them and playing postflop against them well. But yes, since you're playing more hands per hour your swinginess goes way up. On the weekend, I was tempted to play heads-up $50-$100 with "send it," a whale who plays in Brantford. He was playing the 10-20 for a while before moving to the 20-40, and then using his pull with the casino to get a 50-100 opened. He raises every hand. He went all-in at the 20-40 a couple of weeks ago (and it is limit) for $750 preflop with 67o. Anyhow, he got the powers that be to create him a 50-100 table and he sat there all alone. None of the big 20-40/50-100 pros were around and nobody seemed to have noticed that he was waiting there and I was very tempted to play him...I just don't have the roll for it. Though I know that I'm 20 times the player that he is, all I need is to go all in with my aces against his 67o and have him catch. Now if he is playing 20-40 and there's another fish there, then I can be comfortable moving up in limit because I can probably still make 1 BB/hour even against the better players by just staying out of their way and targetting the fish, but playing heads-up with one big fish (with an enormous bankroll) is out of my league. | ||

| There's no such thing as "luck" (or even a "rush"). It's all long-term probability squeezed into a short timeframe...like a single hand or a single tournament or even a single month. Pretty useless info? Well, just don't blame the cards, as so many of us have a tendancy to do. Probability runs for and against. Let your constant honing of your skills make the difference. | ||
