Which kind of table easier to enter FT

[kenmingquan]

Wonder is 6 pax per table or 9 pax per table for better chances of getting to FT?

I don't think one table size is better than the other. They each have their own strategies. For example, you can play a tiny bit looser at a smaller table; and, at a larger table, the blinds don't hit you as often. What will get you to the final table is really much more a factor of how well you play the game, regardless of table size.

My personal preference is to play a 9-person table.

Every table has its own benefits...

fewer players per table = higher relative chance of FT, but requires more aggression and adaptability.

So smaller table or lesser people I can play abit looser ? If I’m at at 9 person table I need to be slightly tight ?

So far from what I have played , looks like 9 person table has the higher chance for me to get into the ITM
Tho. But I’m trying to play better at 6 person table

I find it easier to reach the final table in a 9-player tournament. In the semi-final tables of a 6-player tournament, you have to be very aggressive to maintain your stack.

Like all things in poker, there is no one rule for all situations. But, in general, the range of cards you should fold changes with your position. Earlier positions should play a tighter range (in part because you have more players ahead of you who could have better hands then you). Later positions can play a bit wider of a range of hands. In a smaller table, there are fewer players ahead of you when you are in early position.
