9 v. 10 player games of NLH - what differences are there?

I noticed that different sites have different max players per table, some 9 others 10.
What differences are there between 9 and 10 players tables that one should know about?

A few that I can think of:
-the chance of multiple people at the table getting a good hand+flop combo go up (i.e. 2 set cards, one high card - higher chance one has the high pair and the other has 4 set cards)
-the raw equity of various hands changes slightly [ty Stu_Ungar for your explanation on why]
-any particular hand, no matter how good, has more risk associated with it
-the likelihood of having more players to play against post-flop increases, thus bluffing becomes harder (Assuming that it is harder to bluff out more players post flop, because one of them is likely to have a hand)
-the risk of a pre-flop 4BB raise increases with marginally good cards (ex. KJ), because the likelihood of someone all-in after you with good cards increases
-strategic considerations change more drastically in tourney play as the number of players goes down, which can throw inexperienced players off. This includes STT and final table MTTs, but also big MTTs when one's table can often reach as low as 6 players, than fill back up. As this occurs, shift back and forth between 10 and 6 player games.

what other differences are there? Does it vary by game type (ex. Turbo v. non)? What sorts of strategic considerations should one take into consideration when players 10 v. 9 players (other than those mentioned).



someone can also add 6 players game and note how those vary as well.
I think it would be useful to have a chart of equities and strategic considerations, etc... at 10,9,...2 player games.


Some room with 9 players: Fulltilt, Pokerstars
Some rooms with 10 players max: Partypoker, CakePoker, Bodog

(its interesting how 10 players rooms tend to be associated more with "easy play" and bad beats. Maybe it has in part to do in part with the # of players and the risks associated with these games. For instance, all things equal, trips v. 10 players is more likelly to get beat by the turn and river versus 10 players than 9.

I agree. Find it way tougher (and more boring) to play the 10's. Those bad beats hit ya more on the 10's because you're playin tighter and are more likely to be put all-in (or at least FEEL that way, which can often lead to that). Prefer the 9's. Feel they allow more play, less showdowns because you're forced to.
