Default Hello! Is the following statement GENERALLY correct???

Playing in a full 7 card stud high table(8 players) after 4 players fold is similar to playing in a 4 handed game??
What do U think?

Of course it is different. There are 4 more antes in the pot, and you have seen 4 more cards folded.

I feel the statement is totally wrong. the 4 who folded surely had bad cards, increasing the chance of the others haveing better cards, if i'm not mistaken, play tighter at full tables, and the shorter the table, the losser you play... generally.... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] later

When you ask if a statement is "generally" correct and that statement's main qualifier is the word "similar", you're so ambiguous that the answer to your question is almost certainly "yes".

6 handed limit cash game triple draw lowball is similar to 11-handed tournament no-limit texas holdem but just knowing that won't help your play in either.

This bunching effect isn't very strong, since there are lots of hands that could contain one or two good cards but still be folded. So in practical terms, you are mistaken. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
