I've been bouncing back and forth between 6m and FR. It's mainly because I've been running bad, but it's forcing me to do a lot of thinking about the pros and cons of both.
I had been meaning to check the difference in rake, since we play more hands(vp$ip, not /hr) in 6m. At 25nl, I pay $22/1k hands in FR and $27/1k hands at 6max. This is over 19k and 16k sample sets respectively. Does anyone have any better samples to back these up?
At that rate, I'm losing an extra 1ptbb/100 at 6max vs. FR!

Its only cause you're going to be playing more hands in 6max than full right cause the blinds come around faster. Pick one grind up a big bankroll and as you move up the rake becomes smaller and smaller compared to your winrate.

if you're running better you pay more rake (the total rake is the rake taken from hands won, right?)
check average rake/pot for FR and divide by 10, do the same for SH and divide by 6. Are they different? if so, whatever - it doesn't matter!
Play the one you have a better earn-rate with!

ummmm can't we figure out the differences between the two tables using six's, nine's, hands played, and division signs? Or am I missing something here?

Since the calculation is per hand, the 6s and 9s are irrelevant (or understood).
Since the rake caps out at higher limits I would assume that this becomes less and less relevant as you move up. Therefore, at micros, it's better to play FR, as you move up, it becomes more of a tactical choice. The issue is that I don't have any stats to back this up, because I'm only at 25nl.

You play from the button more in 6m, so it should offset the bigger rake.

Only if you play the BU well, which I suspect our resident 14/10 TAGS may not be. You have to play position to a 1BB/100 advantage to offset the rake. Post flop skill becomes a factor that we need to measure, yes?
