6+ holdem on Pokerstars

I played a bunch of 6+ on ipoker when it was released and whilst enjoyable I did find the rules changes a little too much for my poor brain to handle.

Now that PokerStars is using a version with only hank ranking change of flushes beating fullhouses it feels a bit better but getting used to the new blind structure is hard. From what i understand this is generally how they do it in the triton poker series.

I did a little video the other day trying to break the game down.

Anyone here any good with 6+ and which rule set do you prefer?

Straights > trips? or the other way round.

Also with the new structure I'm doing a lot of limping as the odds we get are just soo good. Any reason why you might want to raise only like some players have been doing?

There are a few Russian community posters who're beating the iPoker version (trips>straights), they're excited about Stars bringing more customers into 6+, but it's yet to be seen if those regs will adapt to Stars' rules.

Limping has become even more worthwhile after Stars changed the BI from 200 to 150 antes because now the positional disadvantage can be reduced by limp/shoving a wider range.

Haha, then even the $26 in my balance is enough to restart playing 6+ :f_biggrin: (I'm a nit, don't wanna drop >10 BIs without sufficient EV winrate evidence; I mean, whatever I lose beyond that, I have to earn back at lower variance games first before hitting a 6+ table again.)

At 100 bb, some of the offsuit hands that used to be crying limp/shoves have become just openshoves :f_drink:

I think straights should beat sets. I find flopping a straight and be drawing dead vs set really dumb.

Also, dont know how much different the chances are of having 3 of a kind or a straight, but I am quite sure that sets would be flipping vs straight on the flop if it was the other way around.
