Full Ring
A poker table with nine or ten players. Full ring games feature tighter play overall because more players increase the chance of someone holding a strong hand. With more positions to navigate, early position ranges are very tight while late position can still open relatively wide.
Example
At a full-ring 9-player table, tight play is rewarded. Opening 15% of hands from early position is standard, compared to 20%+ at a 6-max table.
