Generally I prefer to open a new 6-Max table, wait for the fish to sit down, and then leave when the majority of my opponents are nits or TAGs. As a result I spend a certain portion of my sessions playing heads-up until more than one opponents sits. My overall winrate has been bouncing around the 3-4PTBB/100 range at 100NL and I decided to start some heavy examination of my game to start finding the leaks and started by comparing the hands I play when the table is HU with the hands that I play with more opponents sitting and was rather shocked to notice that my when I filtered to show just the HU hands that my winrate was 9PTBB/100. Truthfully, I'm rather confused by this since I've always been under the impression that HU was a harder game to play and that my winrate would be hurt by the simple fact that I am paying a blind every hand. Admittedly, this is a small sample (30k hands played HU out of 100k total) but the rather large difference between two winrates indicates that some important difference is occurring in how I play when the table shifts to multiple opponents. Can any of the more experienced players possibly provide some insights as to what might be causing this, and even better can any of you who have some insight suggest what I might do to carry some of the winning play over into the full tables? I figure that it is probably better to improve my play versus multiple opponents than it is to switch over to playing heads-up.
