For MTTs, I prefer full ring but for fast-fold cash (Zoom etc.) I prefer 6-max.

I prefer to play at a full table. Even a zoompoker. But I also feel good at a table with 6 players. But at the final table HU.

For a beginner player, I think the best table would be 6 max. This is how I started to play, it is easier to remember the style of play and the actions of other players at the table. Now there is no difference at which poker table to play, but I mostly play tournaments with 9-6 max players

For cash games I prefer 6max. In the beginning I played fullring, but here position and tightplay are more important, and sometimes it gets bored when you get many trash hands.
In 6 max is more action and you can play a bit more loose.
But for MTT's, I prefer a table with 9 players.

Hello. I prefer 9 players because I get the same number of hands, but less number of blinds.

Each player chooses a discipline that is convenient for him and a table with a number of people where he feels comfortable.I suggest not to focus on one thing and look for a wide range.versatility makes your game much stronger.

And it all depends on which table you mean, but I think a full table is always better since you can collect more chips or money, now if it is the final table of a tournament, obviously one against one

I prefer a full game of nine players because it opens up a lot of playable hands. The short handed games (six players) require more stronger starting hands.

I like to play with a full table, with 6 or 9 players.
I have some difficulty playing with few people.
It always depends on the opponents at the moment. Some players know how to press and make it very difficult.

Cash games I play better with the 6 player format. I like the quick action and the overall feel for the hands. When playing a tournament 7 players sitting on a table or more is beneficial, because I seem to see more hands and pay less blinds per each view. Either way cards are cards and poker is the name of the game!

that is very dependent on my mood but I like to play 9 or 6 max the head ups only like to play at the final table when I get that far lol. But that is rather rare. I like the 9 because then you don't get into the blinds so quickly and you have more air to breathe while playing. But sometimes I also like the action and there is a little more at the 6 or 4 tables, so sometimes I also play 4 max tables but that seldom. my favorites are 6 or 9 max

Some poker players prefer these shorthanded cash games simply because they like to play against fewer opponents and they get to see more hands.:eek:

Always preferred the short table of six. Never seen a SnG with three.
