I have recently started playing online poker, micro stakes 6max sng. I have started reading Colin moshman's book on sng strategy I realised that this is a strategy book for 9 player sng though. Is there a lot of difference in strategy between 6-9 player games or is it roughly the same?

Same concepts will apply, position is just as important in 6 max as in 9 max, and you will have to loosen up and be more aggressive in early position. 6 max is much faster paced and I feel like players are more aggressive as a whole.

if 1st 3 places fold it is exactly 6Max ;)
Respect UTG raises more & full ring players tend to be alot tighter than 6max

No chasing draws, never limp, open 5x, never slow play.

Well in 6 max, raises should be more respected. Also, you need to widen your range in the 6 max versus a full ring. Also, try to pick up patterns of your opponents betting style as well.

It is very different since preflop ranges are wider. With that said, you have to be more active in 6-max so every full ring tactic is going to be different since you can be more passive in those kind of tables.

What doesn't make any sense to me is...if you're reading a book for 9 handed SNG's, then why don't you play in 9 handed games?
