Full ring (9-max)
What it means
A nine-player table. The rules are the same as in 6-max, but there are more seats between UTG and the HJ (UTG+1, UTG+2 and MP). With more players left to act, the early positions open tighter ranges.
Example
At 9-max, UTG opens between 9% and 11% of hands because there are eight players left to act; at 6-max, with five behind, it opens quite a bit more.
