well if ur in a 6max table theres 6 of you and if ur in a 10 max theres 10 of you

AA has less chance of beating KK in 10 max though #math

so at this point my thoughts are that 6max/turbo is loose aggresive game at all and 10max/regular more tight?

The speed difference is quite major. With more hands per level the bustouts come faster in 6 max, a single bustout has a greater effect on the average stack, and the average stack remains such that there is post-flop play for longer. With 9 max and 10 max, particularly if people are playing slow there are fewer hands per level, average stack plunges and you end up playing push/fold while there are still a lot of players left.

i feel like the dealing speed is the crucial factor.

^ my observations are from online play, you get more hands per level because of less time waiting for everyone to fold, fewer multi-way pots etc.

I doubt dealing an additional 8 cards would make a big difference live but someone might correct me.
