6 handed vs. 10 handed

[Mister Z]

Hey all - Until lately, I've mainly stuck with the 10-Max tables at UB because I felt I could win larger pots there (which is true sometimes). Recently I've tried the 6-max tables and found that the winning hands were a bit smaller - ie. top pair winning quite a bit and even Ace-high, whereas straights and better seem more common at the 10-max tables.

Does this seem accurate? If so, to what degree do you think play should be "loosened" up, if at all, at shorter-handed tables?

Thanks!
