I have been playing on this site for a little over 1 year and have over 236 million chips. So, something is working for me ! The answer is obvious and a matter of mathematics.
First of all, why would you play at a 9 player table when there is a 6 player table open ?
Statistically, with 9 players, you ONLY have an 11% chance to win. At a 6 player table, it rises to 16% even before the cards are dealt ! (better odds)
Secondly, if you bet a decent amount pre-flop and only 2 players fold, your odds just went up to 25% (1 in 4). AND…if you are playing Omaha hi-low, it’s jumped to 50% that you will at least split the pot.
