| Strategy @ 6 man table I normally play 9 man tables but recently i was in a tournament with 6 players. I wasn't quite sure how to play it. How do you guys do it ? Do you have loosen up, or play more aggressive to be successful ? At 9 man table you can be as tight as you want the first 30 to 60 minutes. But at 6 man table you are Big/Small blind more often. Does that mean I should be more engaged to pots ? Help me out here. |

| You have the basic concept for 6max tables somewhere in your post. Whether cash or tourney you have to open your range up and will need to be somewhat more aggressive with the blinds since they hit you more often. If you think about it, in 6 max there are less hands so your hand raises in value to what kind of equity it would hold at a 9 or 10 person table. |

| Learn a hand range You have to play a lot tighter in 9-10 mans game than you do on the 6 handed tables. Hands like Q10 on a 10 table isnt worth considering to call in a 10 mans game while in the 6 mans game it is almost worth a raise.... But the most important different is that on 6 mans table you have to be in charge to win the money, whilst on the 10 mans table you can allow yourself to be the snakke, that is sneaking, sneaking and then BITING... Personally I am the snake, but I still like 6 handed tabeles a lot better than 9-10, you can open the game a lot more, and I believe 6 handed are for the more skilfull player, but I might be wrong right? |

| So, my conclusion: with all the overbetting and all the bluffs on internetpoker, 9 man poker is better since you can play more tight in early stages of tournament. It's hard to bluff at low-buyin-tournaments cause people tend to call high raises with not much (and with draws) (OR just go allin with overcards). I prefer avoiding bad beats and play tight, so I'll stick to 9 an in future. I didn't like 6 man table anyways. |

| If you are seeing 40% of the flops you are good-to-go. That doesn't mean you're playing 83o/s though. You're still sticking to starting hands that can turn into big hands (suited connectors, etc.) You're just taking more gambles in the right situations where the pot odds say "go for it". As an extreme example, if 4 players limped in and you were in the SB, you would like to limp with that 83o/s in case you flopped trip 8's or God forbid 8's full of 3's. The pay-off could be huge. |
