I don't have the HH anymore so I'll just make it up.

$.10/$.25 blinds
5 random villains fold
LOLTRAPAMENTS calls the BB
sevens raises to $1.10 with KQ on the button
LOLTRAPAMENTS calls
Flop 267
LOLTRAPAMENTS checks, sevens bets $2, LOLTRAPAMENTS calls
Turn Q
LOLTRAPAMENTS checks, sevens bets $4.50, LOLTRAPAMENTS raises all in for $10 more, sevens calls
River Q

sevens shows KQ for 3 of a kind, K kicker
LOLTRAPAMENTS shows AQ for 3 of a kind, A kicker

sevens is frustrated yet again, drops down to 10NL

Std, but for the love of Pete, try some 6-max. Full ring = stinky dingleberries

That's fine, don't sweat it.

Completely standard. If you were any deeper on that turn check-shove or if he were exceptionally nitty you can give serious consideration to folding, but you weren't deeper, and this guy's obviously a nutcase, so I'd def call.

I'm starting to think the same way, but probably for different reasons...

I have found that it's pretty hard for me to find a FR game at $10NL that is good for me over more than a bunch of hands. Since there are 10,000 of them running, there's just too much people popping in and out of them all the time.

At 6-Max, I find it much easier to find one that has one or two super-fish that just give their money away. It's also easier to keep track of who comes and goes. I dunno, but it's been much more profitable for me lately than FR.

Thanks for the responses guys. You know it's amazing what a downswing can do to your psychological game. I'm thankful that I have a great and supportive community at feltpoker to keep my mind where it needs to be.

I'll give 6-max a try, I was actually thinking it might be more suited for the style I want to play.

I don't agree, and never have really agreed with all the hype about 6max games. There are looser plays, to be sure, but also when you pay more rake per number of hands per hour then this is the better way to play. It's not clear that the tighter games in full ring are any worse than the looser games in 6max. Definitely they seem to me to have similar quantities of losing players, perhaps in full ring they do not lose in the same way, but still losing.

Honestly, to be sucessful you need to know how to play profitably against both kinds of players, so I definitely don't have the same hardon for 6max as most others.

My personal hardon for 6-max has nothing to do with loose players, tighter games, or any of that stuff. It's about having physically less players. Less players = more heads up hands = easier decisions = more money. I'd submit that learning to play 6-max is easier than full ring and most people with a basic understanding of decent aggressive play will do better there at the levels we're talking about.
