I don't like a table with 9 players. Unfortunately they are the majority and we have them. I really like the raised hand for quick games and I prefer 6-player tables for tournaments.

me too i prefer more 6 max but indeed most good tournaments are 9 players ....

9 player tables have to play to tight n slo

I am a 6 max guy too. My better success has come at them in win ratio. I understand how cards play better with 6 instead of 9.

I prefer 9 players

I prefer the 9-max tables, on such tables the game is smooth, calm, more tight, just for me )).
On the 6-max tables, you need to play your hands more often, but good cards do not come often, so you have to play with what you have, not my style.

I prefer 9, but 6 max is much faster and more fun.

When it comes to MTTs, I dont care to much. Most MTTs are in the 9-max or sometimes 8-max format, so this is, what I end up playing most. But I dont mind mixing in a 6-max now and then. PokerStars even have a few very short handed ones like a 2,2$ 4-max PKO turbo. That can be kind of fun, and it allow you to play way more hands per hour than a 9-max or 8-max table. So if you have a skill edge on your opponents, in theory this format should give you a very high ROI.

i like it best if i have 6-8 opponents on the table

I like also 6 players tables you get more often good hands and the game goes much faster than tournaments with 9 players table

I prefer 9 seats MTT tables, but SNG for 6 seats.

6 handed for sure!
Can open more hands
For tight players 9 handed are better

I usually play at tables with 9 players. For me, this is the most acceptable format.

I prefer 9 max at the table.In this structure, the range of opening cards is clear.At 6 max, we are forced to expand the range, but I do not always understand the opponent's move.Although I play 6 max sometimes.

I preferred 9 players because I paid the antes less often but I guess as I improve my game I am starting to like 6 players more and more.

I prefer 6 handed with 5 minute blinds because I am forced to play a much more focused game. In 9 handed games, often with 8-10 minute blinds I can find myself getting distracted as the play moves slowly around the table.

haha i always prefer the table with 6 people 9 people is very weird outside that it takes forever to play, of course, with 9 people there are many more possibilities

6 players turbo

I prefer 6 players to a table makes it easier to get a feel of the other players style of play.

I probably prefer 9 player tables because it helps me to remind myself to be patient and not be too loose and aggressive.

6 max. In 9 max, ranges are supposed to be very narrow in EP. So it's just folding most of the time.

I prefer 6 max over Full Ring. The RFI ranges for EP on Full ring table are too narrow. So we rarely play any hands.

I use to play 9 players table so stay at this i prefer 9.

Due to the looser play from both regs and fish, opponents are more likely to make gross mistakes that increase the winrate of a strong regular.2) Ha more often, namely in it you can maximize the advantage over the weaker player. In addition, the tournament goes less, which means XA with larger blinds, which also gives more room for maneuvers. Regarding the number of participants, we can draw an analogy with a 45max tournament, where a lot more players are thrown off, but let's say at 45max for $ 7 ROi will fluctuate 12-17% for a regular, while at 6max ROI will not be much less: 7-12%. It's not about the number of players, but about the space for maneuvers.It can also significantly add more anticipation to the 6max-frequent tilt of opponents due to more action

I like 6 max better, everything happens faster, more hands can be opened

Nine players all day more money to be won. For me six at a table is not worth it. Capo1014

I think it depends on what they played that day in 9max I play fewer hands I close the range in 6max I would participate more in the game opening the range and maybe it is a little more fun depends on the desire to open hands with which I have raised haha

9max is more comfortable to play as you have to be very tight, easy to isolate a player with a 3 bet and less hands to play. In 6 max there is more actions I find it more variant more fun and easy to bluff in

At the tables 6 max and 9 max, there are pros and cons.But I like 6 max more, fast poker and plus the chances of winning hands are twice as much.And 9 max, there are people at the tables who sleep and think for a long time.

In 6 max you need to be able to play more loosely and play very confidently postflop. 6 max is better because there are more fish, who usually play one table and they are bored of waiting for long hands on a full ring. The harder part is that you have to play more loosely.

I prefer 9 max because it better for my tight strategy.

I prefer 9 players at the table. Because I play a lot of tables and if I played 6 players at a table I would have to react faster and think less.

6max is nice. 8p is usually what I play but in general the 6-max are fun to play.

9 - Because I'm a tight nit fish.
6 max is my tilt waiting to pounce.

Good morning.I prefer 9 player tables in tournaments because you have more time to think .A table with 6 players is faster and if it´s turbo ...no way!.Fortunately, most of the tournaments and sit&goes on PokerStars are with 9 player tables.I feel more comfortable playing them.

6 players more chance to have a better hand than the other 5 players.

both are good, 6 players are faster

if you want more action , play 3 or 4 tables at a time !

like in cash games I prefer 6 max tourneys

I like to play 9 player SnGs K.O. as you get to experience all three in every game, when the game starts it is like being on the final table of a tournament, then when it gets down to 6 players you start to change your playing style.
Then you get to the Bubble on 4 players and you have to alter game play again, until eventually you are Heads up with the last remaining player.
Every step along the way teaches you how to play on a Final Table, and the more Heads up you practice, makes you a better player.
Even when you are short stacked against the chip leader you have to be aggressive in a heads up situation, playing 9 player games gives you the experience you need to win Final Tables.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

I prefer 6-handed because you get to play and bluff more often. Nowadays, I feel like a 9-handed table is kinda like watching paint dry..

The best table for me is six players. This is how I navigate better.

I like 6 people tables. Because there is less people to observe......less people mean quickly establish how to play against them.....to quick you know how to play again them the best chance you will have to beat them.....which mean that you have better change to cash up.

Are you better at bluffing or can you create pressure?

when i play online i prefer 8 max. it was 6 max before, but i am easily using focus by some browser and game is too fast. live i get what i got, start tabble or join full table in cashgame, and all different types in tournament. but mainly i preffer heads up for 1st prize

Online i play 6 players
it's better suited for me

At the tables 6 max and 9 max, there are pros and cons.But I like 6 max more, fast poker and plus the chances of winning hands are twice as much.And 9 max, there are people at the tables who sleep and think for a long time.

I prefeer 6 players because you play more hands then 9 players.

6 when I play turbos or sng and 9 max for regular and MTTs

For tournaments I've always preferred 9max, but I'm liking the 8max standard from the GG network better. but when it's cash game, then 6max for sure.
