Party 1/2 full ring vs 9 max

[GFresh]

Picture 9max just as if you're playing a 10max game and the person utg always folds. That's exactly how much if changes your strategy.

I didn't think it'd make much difference, but I'm noticing lots more loose playersat 9-max than the 10 player tables.

Playing last night to clear the party bonus I had 2 tables going both with 6 players VP$IP > 25 I rarely find even one that good at 1/2 full ring.

You suck at looking for tables then. Its not hard to find a bunch of party 1/2 players with 25 VP$P

If you say there is no difference between 9 and 10 handed play then is there a difference between 9 and 8 handed? play or 8 and 7 handed play? You see where I am going with this...

I have no idea where you're going with that. Please explain how you would play KK differently in a 9-handed game as opposed to 10-handed game just because AA is less likely.

As someone else said, in a 9-handed game, just pretend it's 10-handed and utg folded.
