Both nine and six seaters pay the same % of entrants and in simplistic terms the nine seaters may be better as you can play more tables and they may be populated by worse players and game selection plays less of a role. But, I think that a decent stt player has a bigger edge in 6max precisely because of the reason AMRN states - players are in the blinds 33% of the time - meaning they"re forced into playing more hands and playing flops against players worse than you is good

Sort of agree with your logic, but these games are so boring that I tend to play 3 or 4 at once..... and then the edge you have over poorer players is lost. Also, 4 short handed games at once gets a bit manic. 4 full ring games means I can just watch out for the nut hands and let the rest play themselves until the shovefest begins.

How long on average(ish) do the 6 max and full ring DoN stt take to finnish?

My average ATM is approx 23mins across various sites, all turbos, a variety of level lengths, 20 buyins in total. Unfortunately I have no comparable reference for the FR timings currently.
Maybe its my irreversable donkalogic but 6 handed still seems a shrewder option imho.
Only need to wait for 3 players to get knocked out,
Your more active which helps with the boredom factor,
The onus is on us to accumalate chips in 6m as aposed to sitting tight in FR which makes a better strategy for decent post flop players especially where a ragerty Two Pair crushes/stacks TPGK against weaker players.
Most importantly they are blatently going to be shorter which is an obvious
advantage with $p/h in mind, if you can multitable the same volumes as FR, possibly squeezing in a few more buyins in the same space of time.

But my point is that when you"re in the blinds 2 out of evey 6 hands, you can"t just wait for players to get themselves knocked out..... whereas in the full ring games, you"re only in the blind 2 out of 10 hands, and can afford to wait for action (and risk) to occur elsewhere.
For the DoN games, 6 seater require more play...... SO, you may as well play a normal 6 seat STT where the payouts are more favourable to the better player. The 10 seater DoN is just an easy way to print money.

I agree, it only pays one more place.
If I get to three handed in a stardard six max STT, I really fancy taking it down. When I get to the last 5 in a full ring STT, I still feel that I have a lot to do, just to cash let alone taking it down.
