Was wondering the same thing. If it was me, i wouldn't change a thing.
After 200nl full ring gets a lot harder, especially in terms of improving hourly win-rate. Eventually I want to get as comfortable with 6-max as I am in full ring because the short-handed play requires you to be a much better player, and well, I want to become a better player obviously. Also, to get much past 200nl full ring I'm going to have to work on my game in a way that I figure I only can by starting up at 6-max.

At 200nl so far this year I've been 14.5/12.7/4.2 and at 2.61 ptbb/100 after 40k hands. I've ran about 1.5-2 VP$P/PFR lower than I did at 100nl because at 200nl you don't have so many people who just give you their blinds and limped bets for hundreds of hands at a time.

When it comes down to it, I'm just not a good poker player. This is going to sound retarded as hell to a lot of small stakes and micro stakes guys, but it's the truth. Moving to 6-max will force me to get better if I want to become successful.

I think playing 6max is crucial even if you´re not aiming to swith tables completely, in order to progress as a player. Overall postflop skills, adjusting, thin vbetting and tons of other concepts are improved at 6max, simply b/c tough postflop decision occure more frequently. With how many short handed tables will you be comfortable?

I´m mixing in 6max sessions since my OP started and it´s the best thing one can do. If you consider yourself not a good player many ppl here, me included) are probably way worse.
