How many players per table??

sparky115

Just wanted some opinions on how many players you think should be at a table in a multi-tourny.

I play regularly at a location that always trys to get 10 players per table (plus a dealer), and it is something I have always disagreed with. Firstly, it is not the most comfortable, but much more importantly, I think it has a negative impact on the play.

I recall Stephen (Carfax) discussing this with someone at the BH series, and his opinion was, that a multi-tourny should NEVER be more than 9 handed, and I have found this to be the case in most venues. I know that the Irish open had to start with a few 10-handed tables this year, and Paddy Power apologised for this, however, it was down to 8-9 handed very quickly.

I personally enjoy 6-handed poker, however I know this is not practical on a regular basis, however I really think 10-handed is unnecessary.

Any thoughts/opinions.

Thanks.

this is open to debate. personally I like a 9-handed table, but 10 is fine as well....depending on the circumstances.

For MTT's, I like 9 seaters or even 8 seaters but 10 players is too many I think. 6 seaters are very small in a MMT as the blinds come around too fast.

I always try and play a 6 seater cash table though.

10 handed in casinos is ok coz tables seem 2 b a little bigger but in pubs and clubs were theres dealers at tables i think 9 is enough especially when ur not the biggest and ur stuck between 2 big people 4 a few hours.9 handed more than enough 4 me.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

6 ldo! Although that is probably somewhat unattainable for live play. 9 is def better though imo, since 10 usually gets really cramped and you obv have to nit up a bit.

The more players at a table, the more bad players they are generally. Saying that, because of space issues I prefer 9 handed, but if the table is not tiny, then 10 handed is ok too.

6 is too little, 8 or 9 is perfect.
