Yes 6, better because you play more hands.

6 is more fun for me. I don’t mind 9, but sometimes the casinos will squeeze 10 into a table and I hate that.

I prefer 8 by far, but can play with 6. Tournaments 4-max only if it's freeroll, don't like them.

I usually end up with 9 players at a table, but I prefer a table of 6.

I think 6-max is the more interesting format. You get to play more hands and the ranges are wider.

I also played some 4-max recently in Pokerstars and I enjoyed that format too.

I prefer 8 or 9 max tables.

6 is ok too sometimes but 4 is way too few for me.

For me, 8–9 player tables are the most comfortable. Playing 6-max is harder, because if the cards don’t go your way, you bust out really fast. But when you play at a full table with 8–9 players, it’s much easier to get results in that situation. That’s just my personal opinion.

8-9 player tables are best. Less forced betting due to blinds and ante. Plus I know the ranges a bit better. Shorter handed always feels a bit like the wild west to me :D

I also prefer 6 players. The game moves faster, you get to play more hands, and it’s easier to read the other players.

I usually play table 8 and I think it's pretty good. People say table 6 is easier but I find both types of tables the same.

1 gigantic fish/whale would be my preference. The kind that would have no problem sending me btc to settle up as soon as we are done playing. isnt that what we all want?
Just a quick story...going back to the early days of illicit online poker I ran into 1 of those guys at like 3am. Im going to omit the details but I always believed he was some pro athlete on the west coast who had barely ever played poker before and was probably drunk.

I usually prefer 6-max too. The pace is quicker, you get to play more hands, and there’s more room to apply pressure. Full ring can be good for a slower, more patient style, but for me 6-max hits the perfect balance between action and strategy.

I prefer the traditional table, with 9 players. Among the options, I'll go with the 8-player one.
