What do you all prefer for cash games? 6 player tables or 9?
I prefer 9 handed tables for tournaments because you can play a more tight solid game. 6 handed tournaments have a lot more gamble to them and sometimes I can keep up with the amount of gamble that is going on, so for tourneys it 9 handed for me. I like to play tourneys tight aggressive not having to play more
hands because its a short table good when playing a MTT.
I find myself playing 6 handed in cash games more regularly though, In cash I like to play more hands for a better win rate, but in 9 handed games it is hard to play more hands +Ev and is probably a mistake to play to many hands. This being said, in 6 handed cash games its a little more profitable to play more hands as with 3 less players your hands instantly become stronger. I also play a bunch of Omaha and the games are all 6 handed cash games which I love.
I will sometimes play 9 handed cash games if i feel like playing very nitty and waiting long periods of time for good spots. You generally play way less hands in 9 handed cash games. When getting action you better have a strong holding or one that can possibly make the nuts or a strong hand by the river. 6 handed I find mediocre hands tend to win by the river more often, not so much in 9 handed, but this all matters more so on the group of players your playing with.
So for me its always full table for tournaments and usually 6 max for cash depending on how I feel like playing that day if i want to nit it up i'll multi table 9 handed cash. I will play 6 max tourneys only if i feel like
gambling at said time or if its Omaha. Cheers:beerglass:beerglass
