6 vs 9

[paratrooper99]

Huge difference. Opening ranges. Much more 3 betting. Position is even more important because the likelyhood of big hands are much less..............................

You leave your sister alone.

the nine player tables are better for learning imo as you can stick to the book a bit more with the starting hand values.

Offcourse there is a big difference - I better like to play 6-max at cash games but 9players at tournaments. 6-max easyer to steal blinds.

[jasonv12]

6-max is more of a position based game with more blind stealing and less relevance on opening hands, as ranges are much wider. Implied odds hands often can invest more because reverse implied odds hands (KQ, QJ, AJ) where you either win a small pot or lose a big pot type hands are more likely to continue. Also, isolating weaker players becomes a bigger deal.

9-max has less opening ranges and less emphasis on blind stealing. While position is still important, being out of position often still has some post-flop playability assuming the cards and opponent put you in the right spot.

Different about sizing, positions, bubble play, agresivity...

with 9 players there is a bigger possibility that someone on the table will have good cards, so you have to be more careful. With 6 players you have to be more loose and go in more hands because of the less players. In my opinion that's it.
