FR is more boring and less profitable for a good player. I don't know if you understand what I am saying (my english skillz suck), but FR is also a "more solved" game than 6max or HU, which are much more dynamic. By "more solved" I mean that in most situations you can mathematically make a right decision... maybe a best example of this is LHE, in which there are bots that are beating lower midstakes HU.

I am now playing HU for the same reason I went from FR (which I did play for a very short period) to 6max... You get a lot more action and the game is much more dynamic, instead of that 14 VPIP setmining+blindstealing, which FR was.

The general idea of HU (and shorthanded) is that no one ever really has anything and everyone is just trying to outplay each other... which I find much more interesting than "hmm... I have a middle set, I wonder if he has top or bottom set when he shoves" -style FR.

I've been drinking again, so if I sound like an idiot, that is probably because I am one. ThatDeviant probably said everything necessary already.
