full ring

I've been playing 8 tables of fr instead of 4 of 6m for the past week. I've got 3k hands of nl25 just to get my feet wet and 7k hands of nl50 and running at 6.5 ptbb/100 overall. I'm becoming more and more convinced that nl50 is the blackhole being down ~2 bi expectation. This goes along with my running horrible at 6m nl50.

Full ring definitely has weaker players and is easier, but my staker made comments along the line of not being able to learn as much at it. More multi-way pots do take some of the play out of it, but if my win rate is that much higher than I don't really have much choice when trying to climb up. Another thing is that I'm actually able to win some in non-showdown pots.

One disturbing statistic about the difference in my play from nl25 to nl50 is went to showdown %, in both 6m and fr it goes up about 8%. I need to look more into it to find out how much of that is people playing back at me and how much is me being looser and trying to overthink myself into calling.
