When playing triple draw 2-7 or Badugi, would the odds favor drawing to better or worse hands when the number of players decreases?

My uneducated guess is with fewer players, more cards are available to draw, so better hands should be possible.

Correct ? ... or not ?

***EDIT**

I think I just proved my theory.

Just played a 3 handed game in the Carbon FreeRoll and had my T754 CRUSHED by 532A ! :eek:

In ~1K 5-8 handed games in the Stars freeroll, the lowest hand I've seen has been a 6, and that is in very weak/passive games, where 4-5 players are all checking / taking all 3 draws.

As everything in poker, it depends, but the fewer players at the table, the more you should be able to open up.

Number of players and likelyhood of a big hand are directly proportional
