- Full ring is EASIER than 6 max just like 6 max is easier than heads-up. You have to win more hands the quicker the blinds come around and thus can't wait for premium hands. This forces you to have to play and WIN with mediocre hands more often. This is NOT easy.
This is a very good point. But if I give up 6max and play full ring I feel like I'm quitting because it's "too hard". Will playing FR help the 6 max game in any way? I can see 6max helping the FR game as well as HU helping the 6max game but moving up in difficulty doesn't seem like a smart move at the moment.

You should be doing more "boring" things than just the "fun" clicking buttons and "playing" poker. Trust me, when I started out ONE TABLING $2NL full ring, it was a long, laborious process, but it was necessary. I needed to be getting reads and taking notes and developing that skill. I HIGHLY doubt you observe and take enough notes. For all the reasons you THINK you like 6max better is why you should consider full ring.
You are correct. I do take more notes than I used to but still not enough. I am studying more than I was before(which was hardly at all). I read BC Digest notes daily. I review HHs daily. I think I need to review HHs with a different outlook as in What are certain types of players' tendencies?

I think I may try FR again but at 10NL for awhile. My stats seem to be more suited to FR anyway (16/12/3)
Thx Jason
