thanks

Statistacally, hand values go up with less players since PF it is less likely that a player has a hand that beats you. As mentioned, you are also able to play more aggresivly for the same reason... with 6 players it is less likey that someone was dealt a great hand.

He's not for everybody, I'll admit that.

I always thought this only depends on how many are left to act. At least that's how I play. So basically 9-handed, folded to me on the cutoff, = 4 handed. Not sure if I'm missing something.
