Moving to the Dark Side!?!?!?

I tried to play some 6 max today...I have tried before because thats where I heard the real money is at. I did poorly and went back to FR, I wasn't comfortable with my overall play yet. My FR ring game needed some help with blind stealing/SB v BB play. I thought lets play 1000+ hands of $100 6 max. Then about halfway through my session I started to feel different, I started to enjoy it, I felt as though it was luring me in, I wanted to go back to FR but couldn't. My sets were now getting paid off, so were my flushes, overpairs, there were people reraising the flop with TPWK. My FR aggresive style was like a chip magnet. I have been seduced into another world, I feel like a con artist, look at my nice watch and then give me your stack.

My first 6 max session stats:
$100nl
1717 Hands 20.3/13.0/2.8
BB/100: 12.38
Net: +425

$200nl
796 Hands 19.6/11.4/2.1
BB/100: 20.71
Net: +660

My biggest strength(hand reading) and my biggest weakness(pushing marginal hands) now feel like strengths. I am raising my normal FR hands based on position. My FR stats were 15.4/8.3/2.5(my flop agg is 3.9).

Should I be raising more hands or be more aggresive especially in EP?

Are there any other 6 max suggestions?

I have a suggestion: don't fall into common trap of overadjusting to new environment. You know: "Since there are fewer hands dealt, sub-premium hands are now monsters ... bla bla". Play your normal FR game and loosen up gradually.

yes! this can be a big problem for people. just act like the first 3 or 4 seats folded in a FR game and pay closer attention to the competition.
