I usually like to play on tables with 9 players. For me this is the way i’m most used to play.

I prefer playing with 6 players, it's more relaxed than nine. The pressure there is nice and low.

I prefer a table with 9 players, because the orbits when the blind is high take a while to reach you, with fewer players your chips melt faster.

I love me a 6 person table. Fewer chances that people at the table always have the nuts.

I like to play 6max if I'm playing cash, but often that 6max will end up 3 handed urgh, so I prefer a 9 handed that ends up 6max 😛

When I ran the games at my Local Pub we had a limit of 8 players per table, There were times when we had the odd 9 or 7 players depending on how many register for the games, because there were some weeks that some guys just didn't turn up, We had one regular player who would miss a game when our Local Football team were playing at home.
But generally we closed the registrations at 7:55 and drew cards for table and seat position's, sat players and started at 8:00 pm. Any one turning up late was seated as the BB on a table that had fewer players but it was understood once the Cards were in the air, there was no way you were getting in the game.
On-line I like to play the 9 player Sit and Go Games, for two reasons, Firstly they pay out the top 3 players as opposed to two places in 6 player games, secondly, I want to play Poker! I don't care if the game goes on and on for more than an hour, I am not in the game just to win the money it's the Adrenalin rush of the all-in, and the pure pleasure I get from being involved and playing the game!
I liken the game to be similar to Fishing, You can sit on the banks of a pond or River for hours just watching a float bobbing about in the water, Then you get the sudden rush of Adrenalin went you get a bite, and wrangle the fish to shore, only to take a photo and return it to the Water. It's not about the prize at the end, more about the tales you can tell about the one that got away, :)

I prefer heads-up. The fewer players, the better.

In reality, I prefer only me as a winner, but it doesn't matter, for me the important thing is to play

8-9 is the best for multitabling online, 6 is also good, but have to play more loose and more often...

Hy, I prefer with max 8 players because 9 players is to much and I lose my concentration and 6 players it s a few players.
How do you prefer?
8-9
This is a familiar format for me, and I have been playing in such tournaments for many years. I don't like tables with less than 8 players and avoid such tournaments.

The more players at the table, the better for my playing style. I don't like short tables, especially before the final table. I have to bluff a lot, which usually doesn't end well for my chips. :unsure:

I prefer tables with 8 or 9 players. Shorthanded tables are not for me.

Hi
I don't see a big difference between 8 and 9 players at the table, it's almost the same format. Although in general, 9-player tournaments are more familiar to me.
Good luсk :)

I prefer to play with 6 players at the table, for me it's easier to play and I can play a larger number of hands, which means I don't feel bored

8 or 9 players at the table is the most usual for me. If there are less than 8 players, I don't feel comfortable playing because I'm not used to such tables.

Good morning everyone, when playing MTTs, I prefer 8 players, this makes the table more dynamic.
When playing cash games, the ideal is 6 players per table.
