Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em

Hi,

It's definitely not just for 6-max. The book discusses basic no-limit ideas like barreling, value betting, preflop stealing/restealing, isolating bad players, and so forth. These concepts apply to every no-limit game (with the possible exception of games where 5 players see every flop for 8xBB preflop raises).

We chose a $1-$2 online 6-max game as our model game because we decided it is one of the toughest of the "small stakes" games (obviously not a bright line, but we drew it anyway), so we could discuss everything one would need to beat small stakes games in the context of that game.

Honestly, the main difference between full ring and 6-max is that you play more frequently in a 6-max game. You can isolate more frequently because hand strengths are weaker on average, you can blind steal more frequently, you can resteal more frequently, and so forth. But these concepts still apply to full ring games… you just have to wait longer and fold more hands between chances to apply them. :)
