In my opinion, 4 and 6 are very few. I prefer 8 players per table. Because with so few players, few hands are played.

The more the better. People really distill to their play styles. Tight people are tight, and loose people are easy to spot right away. I typically like to play while doing other things and you don't have to be as active in larger tables.

8 players at the table is better I believe, 6 depending on whether it's online and not a turbo tournament

I usually prefer a 6-player table too — it keeps the action fast, but still gives enough time to read opponents and make smart moves.

Hey there,
i like 9max the most. Full ring poker's advantages include lower variance, a less aggressive environment, and more time to learn and make decisions. I can wait for stronger hands and benefit from more defined, predictable player ranges, leading to fewer mistakes in marginal spots.

6 players the best, a lot hands play for distance and not so bored and not so fast like in SpinNGo - so it is optimal table size)

I like 9 max , with 9 players I play better . Short handed I start having problems . That's why I used to like 9 max cash games and 9 max zoom tables . Now 9 max is history in the fast forward kind of cash games , but adaptation is everything either yoh like it or not , I have played , I have some results , I don't like it very much , but I have no option .

When I first started playing poker, I was really afraid of nine-player tables, but now I love it even more. When good cards come in, there's someone to pull the bank off

Anything from 6-8 is fine. When it starts getting up to 9-10. I feel it's a bit much. But I still prefer that to heads up or 3-4 person tables

It feels normal to play with nine players, but I've noticed that getting to the bottom of the table playing with 6 players or less is a hundred percent easier to win depending on your physical and mental state to be able to play longer.

I feel comfortable at tables with 8 or more players. I started playing in this format, so it stuck.
I didn't really achieve any serious results with fewer players.

I prefer 7, that's the best because I feel it's not too much and it's also not short handed like 6.
I love 6 handed but sometimes there's not enough action
