In a poker tournament where do you play better at tables of 6 or tables of 8?
And where are strategies most useful?

I prefer a table of 8. I like it more where there are more players.

I enjoy the 6 person format. Opens up ranges resulting in playing more hands.

8 and 9 max, rarely play 6 max, if I do, mostly CGs. Obviously you have more action on a 6 max, if it counts for you, for me it is a disadvantage as well, as I can't play, focus for the same number of tables like in 8,9max.

You can have 'strategies' on any, not important what you mean exactly. For that, what and how I prefer to play, the 8,9 max is more suitable.

I prefer to play 9 person, especially in SNGs due to a larger payout but have had success with 6 man tournaments as well. It depends if you want to be patient or have more action. I think the smaller tables also benefit a skillful player to an event greater extent.

I prefer nine due to the fact when you have a solid hand you tend to get bigger pots etc. However my best results have came from six max.

I prefer 8 max over 6 max. in tourney play. First of all it seems game will end quicker and with more people at the table the rake is usually bigger.

Hello. I like 8max better. Fo me, it gives me more of an opportunity to get a good, playable hand before the blinds.

I am a tight player so I prefer 8 max tournaments. In 6 max tournaments, we need to open wider and fight for the pot so it's more risky than normal.

I prefer the 8. What is exciting for me, that after trying some 8 players sessions (cause they are rare and usually hold as events) I can definitely feel the difference between the 8 and the 9 player tables. Its so much easier and clearer to absolve your moves when theres only 1 person less then a regular.
Obviously 6-4-3-2 tables requires more agressivity and ability to play fast but effective poker.
Maybe six is a halfway between those formats, cause many attributes can be experienced that both can lap the 8-9 or the 4-2 formats.
So most of the times I would choose the eight format, but my mood and the MTTs will tell me 'what to play today'.

I usually play more tight so I prefer 8 max tables because it fits better to my style of play.

I prefer tables for 8 or 9 players.

in tournaments I prefer 8 or 9
I like to play lots of tables and it's obviously more difficult to do so while playing 6max MTT

For cash game, always 6max

I like 6 max MTT or SNG. You play more hands and can dominate quickly.

8 max because you can open up your range slightly more than 9 max but still play snug if you are card dead. 6 max forces the action sometimes, i prefer 6 max for non-holdem games

I seem to do better with around 5-6 players at the table, so I guess I prefer that

Top for me..6max freezout..PLO

I prefer 8 at the table ... especially at the final table!

I like the six max less time hogs and the game flow is much better.

I prefer to play at tables with 8-9 players !!!
