First of all, the difference starts even pre-flop.

For 9-max tables there are 3 additional positions, and the game in the early positions, due to the large number of people behind, should be very accurate - tight.

Let's discuss in more detail the difference between FR (Full Ring - 9-max) and SH (Short Handed - 6-max) tables in the preflop game:
1. All positions at 9-max tables play more tightly than in 6-max!
In particular, this concerns early positions. The average FR player will play by raising fewer hands from the same position as the average SH player.
2. The 9-max game is more straightforward.
Due to the fact that the blinds are less frequent, 9-max players tend to wait for strong hands for 3-bet / 4-beta
3. A lot of limps on 9-max!
Many players are afraid to raise with medium hands, but also do not want to throw them, so they limp. Often the first limp will generate a succession of subsequent limps.
4. Blinds are less stylish on FR tables.
The average player tries to steal the blinds less often, so you need to defend yourself more accurately.
But! There are fans to compose, so do not forget about the statistics from Holdem Manager 2!
5. Players rarely protect the blinds at 9-max.
You can not narrow your ranges, but rather expand them, implementing FE on the flop. But it's worth remembering this when assessing the post-flop range.
6. At 6-max, the premium hands are slowly slown down pre-flop.
And for 9-max tables you will often encounter 3-bet calls with KK / AA, QQ and AK in late positions.

well ... I like both formats, but 6 max is a faster and more dynamic game. I play the 9 max and sometimes dumb to the 6 max.
We are together.

Online is all about action and getting enough hands in to realize your edge so generally speaking 6-max > 9-max. I like 9 max though its a little bit more relaxing of a game
