Should my strategy change every time an opponent busts in a 6 person sng?

I've been thinking about this lately and was hoping to get opinions on it. I know it obviously changes for bubble play, and heads up but tend to play looser the fewer people there are at the table, tight at the bubble and aggressive heads up and final three. Was hoping for some examples of high tight my range should be throughout the different stages.

You want to treat a fold as an empty seat. So you play 3 handed button the same as 6 handed button with 3 folds to you. (HU is different because position changes.)

In the 6 handed case, the BB and SB have a slightly greater chance of having an Ace than in the 3 handed. This is because the folded hands have a good chance of not having an Ace. However the slight shift in percentages should not affect your strategy.

The math - if you as BTN don't hold an Ace, the probability that BB or SB will have an Ace is:
3 Handed - Probability that BB or SB will have an Ace is 4/50 = 8%
6 Handed - Probability (assuming the 3 folded players ALWAYS open an Ace in the hole) is 4/44 = 9%

I get more aggressive as they drop out.
