I have mainly played tournaments and sngs since starting to play poker but I`m starting try my hand at ring games. I played a short session of .25/.50c NLHE at a 6 handed table last night (mainly because I couldn`t find a 9 seater table at those blinds) and I was wondering what advice you could offer to a relative novice at ring games, especially when playing short-handed (I`m used to playing 9 or 10 seat tourneys/sngs).

Even from that short session I can see that short-handed probably has more potential for profit but would you recommend I play at a full table because that`s what I`m used to or would you say it really doesn`t matter?

Finally what would you consider to be a decent profit per hour at those limits? In limit poker I know I`d be looking to win maybe 3 or 4 big bets per hour, what about NLHE?

Thanks DM

Thanks for the great question. We chatted a bit after the show during which I addressed this question (8/17/2007), and I was happy to hear that my response was helpful.

It certainly was, I`ve also read your article "The Transition to Short-handed play" and I`ll be looking to put theory into practice over my next sessions.

Here`s another question. I`ve already posted it in the hand histories section but I thought I`d put it here to make sure you saw it. It`s probably not worth discussing on the show but I`d like to hear your views on it.

What do you do?

Final table, 10 players remaining, blinds are 400/800. You are one of three stacks that are very short, all around 6,000 chips. You don`t have much information on either of the players involved they were not at your previous table. Chip leader has approx 45k, average stack was around 18k.

UTG min raises to 1600 He has over 20,000 chips

UTG+1 pushes all-in for approx 6300(he is one of the short-stacks but has you covered by a couple of hundred chips, the previous hand he pushed with AJ and lost half his stack.)

You are next to act, you have 10-10

Push or fold?

This is a hand from the Rounders freeroll on Monday night, only 1st place wins anything.

Hi I am pretty new to online poker and could do with alot of advice but my first hurdle and question for you is how do I make the last table of a mtt freeroll. I don't have a bankroll and I try my luck at freerolls, the most I have won is $10 dollars in a fantasy freeroll on Fulltilt poker but haven't manage lately to even get into a money seat. Can you give me any advice or something to read not very good at serching hence the reason I have joined a forum not just for the freerolls but the infomation you can pick up.
Anything will be of help to me thanx
