I'm guessing that in 6-max, the fact that you're playing more hands makes the rake hit your BR harder.

Also, playing at the micro / low stakes means that the $y is never reached, so the same rake % is coming out of every pot. Whereas at higher stakes, the $y in rake can be taken out of the smaller pots, leaving unraked monies in the big pots.

It's because you get 6 hands per 1.5bb as opposed to 9 hands.
