Six players. Makes it that much easier to win a hand I think. Less likely for all ins or high raises from villains.

I prefer six players. Max eight in a tournament.

Depends on the OP. Sitting down with just a few highly aggressive experienced opponents at a cash table will bleed you blind (pun intended). However the odds are much more favorable, so fewer players are prefered if getting to see the flop more often and not getting pushed out after first bet or if your better than me and can stand toe to toe with really good aggressive players. Having more players creates more unknown variables. Good players understand this so it chills them out a bit. You also get more hands in-between blinds allowing more chances for hands worthy of 3 betting without having to pay blinds.

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?
I play in tournaments with 9 or 8 players at the table. I don't like tournaments with 6 players at the table and I don't like tournaments with less than 6 players at the table even more.

For cash games I like 6 or 7 players and for tournaments I prefer a 8 or 9 player table.

I also play 8 max tables mainly and on the rooms I play most of them there, but 6 max is sometimes not bad because there is more action there

full 9- handed ring games in a casino give you more hands per blind , and some chances to observe your opponents when out of the pot . i don't mind even 10 handed MTT or sng's online ; if you last short handed play will come later !

I prefer 8 or 9 players because blind comes harder and my concentration is better.
