9 player tables vs 10 player tables

[grimpepper 0]

what are the pros and cons of playing at a table that has 9 players vs a table with 10 players. also what strategies do you use at both a 9 player table and 10 player table.

Really no different to me.

9 player tables and 10 player tables require a similar strategy of tight-aggressive. There is little difference between the two. When you get down to a 6-handed table or less, you need to open up your starting hands, with high card value increasing and suited connectors diminishing in value.

After 10 rounds... You've payed 10 less blinds in a 10 person table... Elementry my dear watson... Other than that, the play will be the exact same, so save yourself the blinds over the longhaul! lol

I think Jayson meant to say something like "over 100 hands you've paid 10 less blinds". <Smash meets internet n00b> lolz jayson put d0wn teh cr4k pipe!!?1?1!?1!?!?!?</Smash meets internet noob>Over the course of X hands, you will pay less blinds at a 10-person table than at a 9-person table. But over the course of X ROUNDS, you'll pay the same number of blinds (But play less hands).

I don't notice too much difference. I don't change my strategy until the table gets below six players.

Yeah...9-10 players is pretty much the same game. 7-8 players might be slightly looser but you won't play that much differently until you get to 6 or less.

I actually do modify my play based on the number... since I've been playing Absolute Poker, where the tables are 9 handed, I am slightly tighter.Of course other factors are much more important in how I play, but my starting hand chart is slightly different. Mostly I find myself not playing some pairs UTG and I need to be in later postion to play hands like QT or KT. I also somewhat randomly do not play some hands on the button that I would normally play if there hasn't been a raise.Also, I can't use GameTime+ or PokerTracker while I play on Absolute so that diminishes my ability to multitable and read players --> thus leading to tighter play.

It feels like ten handed tables feel a lot slower than nine handed. If you're the type who needs a faster pace psychologically to keep from playing junk, you might experience some difference in nine- and ten-handed.

One extra buy-in for the SNG games, increasing the prize pool by 11 percent! whoop dee doo.10 player games are alot slower than 9 player games? I think its your imagination. Since Im so tight, I often wish I could find a 20 player game... Now that would be intresting
