Granted, but since you don't play that many hands in early position in 9-max anyway (usually 99+, AQ+), I feel the net effect shouldn't theoretically be that large.
However, 6-maxers do steal a lot more than 9-maxers. So basically the problem isn't so much that the blinds come along more often, but that you need to adjust to the wider stealing ranges. Ed Miller says pretty much the same here: http://www.notedpokerauthority.com/q...-overview.html.
Currently, I'm trying out a defense strategy based on the raiser's steal%. If they steal 40% of the time, I will go allin with the top 40% of my hands in the hope that the free money I gain from their folds outweighs the -EV from the times they call. First results are promising.
It's still rudimentary though and it only helps if you've got enough info on an opponent, so if anyone has a better blind defense system I'm all ears.
