Should I play tighter in 6-Max tourneys or play wider range of hands ?

Definitely play a greater range. The fewer the number of opponents, the lower the odds of going up against multiple premium hands.

What Matt said. When i play a 6-Max tournament i try to dominate the table as much as possible. Play as many hands i can, but ofcourse, adjust if they don't allow me and play back at me. In a decent 6-Max table they won't allow you to do so and you'll slowly start bleeding chips. But in most 6-max games i play i win most chips by winniny many small pots because they simply play to tight, and i can play overly aggresive. When they finally do play a decent pot against me i can sometimes stack them 100-200bb deep because they stack off with top pair.

In general yes you play more hands and youll have to, but how lose depends on your table which also applys for a full ring.

Here the main thing is to play in the position. Early positions should be played with strong combinations, and in later positions - with a wider range of hands.

Hi.

In a 6-max game (CG or MTT) your range must grow a little more.
You should take the advantage of the position more seriously because of the wide ranges that almost every opponents have and you should increase your 3b pre stats.
But 6-max has a plus for me, because there are fewer players it's easier to learn your opponents and their game quicker.
