I am a $100 NL full ring player who has been away from the game for about 18 months. When I left, full ring was more popular than 6-max but now it seems that 6-max generally has a lot more tables to choose from. Do you think that there are a higher fraction of fish in 6-max that would make it worth me learning. I've been playing full ring for about 20k hands at FT and PS and made a few buyins but progress is rather slow.

I've seen results like Coco_Bill's and obviously would like some of that for myself. However the style of play in the hands which gets posted seems rather maniacal to a 17/8 full ring player so it may take me a while to adjust. From what i can gather you don't have to be super loose or aggressive preflop to be successful but you've got to know exactly what you're doing post-flop or you're going to get bet out of most pots. Are any sites particularly soft for 6-max. I had a quick look at the sun poker/william hill client because of the high rakeback and 95% of the tables were 6-max. Also is there a skill boundary between 50/100/200 etc where the game suddenly gets a lot harder?
