Full table versus 6 max

[PotatoStew]

I'm just starting to seriously try to improve my no limit game. I'm trying to decide if I should concentrate on full table or 6 max. What are some reasons why I should do one as opposed to the other?

I know that in limit, 6 max had the potential to be more profitable, but also had higher risk and variance. Generally it seemed the best course was to get acquainted with a level at the full tables and then move on to 6 max after success there. Do those considerations hold true for no limit, or are there any different dynamics that I need to be aware of?

Thanks.

I'd agree that to start with go for full games. You need better opponent reading abilites for short handed games.
