I finally took the plunge and tried out the 6 player games at Poker Stars. I figured as fishy as the really low limit players are, I could probably hold me own there and at least not lose money (the 1/2 limits only). I think these could be *huge* money makers as long as one correctly adjusts for the short table and insane players.

I've seen some wild swings and am curious if anybody has any ideas on where I could read up on short handed play, or has some good suggestions for this type of game they'd be willing to share.

I've read Sklansky's short section in HFAP and just remembered recently I can make TTH play with 6 players (need to explore that more). Otherwise I am in the dark.

I noticed with poker tracker that even the good players were seeing the flop about 60% of the time. That *has* to be too high. Or is it reasonable because the others are playing 95% of the flops?

On TTH: does anybody have a good idea which lineup to use to practise with? I tried a "loose" lineup. The players I went against were not particularly aggressive, but I think TTH is making them fold too often bets on the later betting rounds. Does anybody know where I can adjust that - or maybe use a different lineup?

I would love if people responded to this querry as I would love to know more about shorthanded play. There are huge swings in short handed play that is for sure. The only advice I've had given to me is to be very aggresive.
