What I'm saying mostly is that if your end goal is to play high stakes

1. you need to learn 6max because most of higher stakes online poker is 6max
2. you need to focus on BB/100 more than on volume

but i also think that 6max by nature has the potential to be more profitable than FR. There's a lot more of marginal situations where good players have an edge over lesser ones.

It's like. When people start playing on a micro bankroll, they play SNGs for BRM reasons. But most winning players end up switching to cash games. The reason for that is that SNGs are too simple a game. In the end, it's mostly about ICM push/folding and there's a stake where most players know that, so your edge becomes really small and the only way to increase your profit is through sheer volume. Deep stack cash games, on the other hand, are a hell of a lot more complex a game, and that makes them more profitable for the best player at the table.

To some extent, you have the same effect with FR and 6max. FR is somewhat simpler. Oversimplifying, it's mostly TAGness and nut peddling. 6max is more complex than that. Depends more on players and less on cards. And more complex means a better edge for the best players, including you.

It's true that rake is a bit higher at 6max, but that's irrelevant for the higher stakes, because rake is capped, and therefore it is just a tiny dent in a good high stakes player's win rate. What matters most is to play a game that is difficult enough for excellent players to have an edge over merely good ones.
