Which do you prefer?

I usually prefer to sit at full ring games, but usually because it means there is more money on the table. But I've started to play some 6-max and it seems the jump in HPH that you gain more than makes up for less money being on the table.

6+ great game play it often, even very much, of course it will not interrupt Omaha or holdem but on a level with Fusion. Although will soon release a Split view.

I prefer games with 9-max tables, be it a tournament or a cash game!

I like to play full ring the most, but if I feel it's worthwhile I don't mind smaller tables. One thing's for sure, 6 max and less is great FT training.

For me, I prefer 6-max for cash games, it's the standard.

Always preferred the short table. Even back in the day when most sites had traffic to load tables fast. Find it more enjoyable to open the ranges up some and provides more opportunity to bluff.

I'm a fan of 6 max, bc I'm way to impatient for full right. You have to play more hands and helps prepare you for later stages of tourneys.

I started playing 6 max and it's pretty much standard for me now. Compared to 9max, there's just much more action but by that same token, you're also a bit more likely to spew chips since you'll be opening your ranges wider in 6max.

I usually stick to 6 max. I prefer to play with fewer players and feel more confident solid hands will hold up.

Hi
6 max it is, lots of advantages according to me.
Less competition
More card options Hence more outs
Money is almost same on both options as not always will all 9 players enter a hand, so it’s a better option to play 6 max.

Exclusively Full Ring for now with real money since I can play tight and feels safer while learning, but I want to try a little 6 max soon.

for beginners probably full rings are better option because games aren't so aggressive. Personally I love 6max games. More fun, easier to earn money on recreational players and more action of course.

Now that I have been playing about a month, I changed my answer. I seem to be doing better at 6-max consistently now. I like the option to play a few more hands and other players are much looser and willing to call larger raises as there seems to be more bluffing and aggression at 6 max tables which more than makes up difference of paying a few extra blinds. But I still definitely try to find a table where the preflop action is not too aggressive.

Full Ring Games

I prefer a 7, 8, 9 or 10 man table, I will play at a 6 man table. Never less than 6, Less than 6 and the game becomes to much for my skills.

Plus I find with full 7-10 man tables, I seem to do better, but like I said never less than 6 and with 6 you need poker skills for Texas Hold Em!

6-max tables always. It feels like 9 ones are too slow.
