If 7 players fold unplayable hands is BB more likely to have a hand?

The other responses are pretty accurate. There is definitely a difference but it can't help you very much.

Situation is: Texas Holdem, 9 Players are at a table, 7 players fold due to unplayable hands. Only SB and BB are left.. is BB any more likely to have a playable hand?

I'm 99% sure each hand is an independent event so it shouldnt make any difference but my friend thinks otherwise.

I believe their is only a small differance and disagree with the link provided. If I took 14 cards at random (7 hands) I could in all likelyhood assemble at least 2 or 3 good hands or 7 bad ones. The amount of goood hands therefore doesn't say a lot about the composition of those 14 cards. For instance with the same 14 cards there could be 4 A-rags and 3 K rags (7 folds) or 2 pocket aces 1 pocket K and 4 pocket pairs (monster pot).
