My old friend 6 max

Last night, for just the third time in the month of August, I played a 6 max tournament. That was after I'd missed the money in two straight MTT-R NLHEs. I'd almost forgotten how much fun 6 maxes are to play! As far as I know, there's no such thing as a 6 max MTT-R on PokerStars. I've been playing a steady diet of MTT-R NLHEs for months, so it's refreshing to change things up now and then. The really rewarding thing about 6 maxes is not the money you can make, but the sense of satisfaction you can get by outlasting a ton of players; the field sizes are much bigger in 6 max than in MTT-Rs. For fun, I'll make sure to play at least one 6 max tonight.
