Does ANYone actually play full ring NLHE anymore?

I haven't much played online poker in about 9 months and just started last week playing low & micro stakes cash games. Is it me, or do fewer & fewer people these days play Full Ring games? It seems like most of the games by far are 6 max. It's weird!

I'm as US resident so I'm not sure if it's just a phenom on the US-friendly sites. Perhaps times a-changin' in this way for popular poker formats online? Just curious if anyone else noticed this too.

6-max is generally far more popular with seasoned players, while beginners tend to flock to FR.

As a US player, liquidity is an issue as there's been a lot of turmoil in the industry between all the splits, mergers, player segregation, etc. among the remaining US-facing sites. So finding enough games at a lot of stakes and game types has been a challenge for US players.

Yeah, it probably just comes down to traffic. And sadly, I don't think that's really gonna change here for US folks.
