6 max is much more fun and I think in general will make you a better player as there are many more marginal spots you get involved in.

I prefer to play full live and 6 max is my preference for online play.

I think I agree, I like 6max because when you have the nut flush its generally going to win 9/10.

The nut flush is the absolute nuts in like two-thirds of boards that complete it. It's gonna win 9/10 or more in ANY format. Not just 6max.

I like FR because I'm kinda nitty and the pace seems to suit me.
My first online experience was 6 max and boy did I have some swings....

If you're an ABC player, 6max is the most profitable.

I think FR is actually. It's correct to play hands less often + there's more people to get a piece of the board + less boards are barrelable (thus you can get away with not bluffing almost ever), makes ABC tag a more profitable endeavor in FR.

I like a full table...I can't explain the math, but seems like patience pays in those.

I guess it depends your style and taste

6max improve your play because the more marginal spots and more action also is more fun.
FR is more nit-iness, more borring but also higher WR and less variance.

I would prefer 10 hands! Because fewer options that your strong pocket pair will face a strong pair
