I think you are incorrect blackize. Why would you be able to play more hands for a profit in a 3-4 handed game as opposed to a 6 handed game with 2-3 folds in front of you? It just doesnt make sense. The "bunching effect is incredibly negligible. I think the correct answer to the OP is "it depends". The importance of player reads are inversely proportional to the number of players on the table. So if its 3 handed and they are both weak, especially postflop, then yes, more hands become profitable. If they are very laggy you might wanna be careful with your weak steals. Same if they are good. If they are good, then probably I would steal with the same frequency as a ring game. But then again if they are good and you are good why are you playing in this game; not to mention the original post would be irrelevant because preflop would matter very little.

Anyways blackize, I play a lot of 3-4 handed as well, and I just don't understand what ur advocating. Note that I dont get killed.
