I've enjoyed 6 max quite a bit. You get alot more time to practice HU and 3 handed play along with blind steal/defense situations. 6 Max has been great for improving my PF raise % and overall agression and has thereby helped my full ring game immensely. The great thing about 6 max is the ability to find tables full of fish and then have them all to yourself or maybe sharing with another player. The swings are annoying but overall BB/100 should be better if you pick the right tables as you will get so much more personal time with guys who have 50%+ VPIP and very low aggression or guys with 70%+ VPIP who are super lags. (I enjoy playing super lags so much more than fish)
