Playing better 10 handed than 6 handed?

Just wanted some opinions on why this is happening. I have always played .50/1.00 limit 6 handed. I recently took a few weeks off, have been reading posts on this site, and re-reading some books at home. When I finally started playing again, I was getting torn up on the .50/1.00, 6 handed, so I dropped to .05/.10 ten handed, and ran over these players. After I felt comfortable with some new concepts I was applying, mainly trying to be a little more aggressive with my bigger hands, I moved back to 6 handed .50/1.00, and got torn up again. So I decided to go ten handed .50/1.00, and I ran over the table. Any thoughts? I used to avoid ten handed tables like the plague, now I think there is more money there to be made.
