Cash Game - tables with 6 or 9 players?

[JhonnyThe357]

When playing cash games, I feel difficulties at tables with 6 players.
Is it ideal to play at tables with 6 or 9 players?
I want to emphasize the aspect of hand ranges over the value to be earned at tables with 9 players, since it becomes much larger.

6-max is usually better. You play more hands, improve faster, and make more profit because there is more action and weaker players make more mistakes. That's i heard years ago from some the interview. And even i play MTT and if i want to play some cash i can play only on 6-max cash games for me it is better than 8 or 9 max.

I play both types, but my preference is the 9-player version.

I had difficulty in playing against 6 players when zoom nl5 9max was stopped from pokerstars , gradually I was forced to try 6 max , watch online tables love or later in game history , in games replays .I learned many things , I feel better now , but still not comfortable . I get bluffed many times . But nowadays I rarely play cash games , now I am rusty .

I prefer 9 players because if I drove an hour or more to play live poker, I want to last long enough to get entertainment value…yes, I want to win some money, but if I doubled my stack in the first hand, I wouldn’t get up and go…I would continue playing…having 9 players allows you to play conservatively, picking your spots for aggression.
