Default Re: What\'s best? learning first: FR, 6max, S&G or MTT?

I'd say go straight in with 6max cash, just start at a really small level where the money means nothing to you, or since you play $3-6 limit you've probably got a decent br so start at 25nl or something.
Nit it up in EP, loosen up in LP, super tight from the blinds and never bluff. I'm sure if you are good at limit you'll be no worse than breakeven at 25nl straight away.

Stick to 1 or 2 tables to start with too.

I second all of this advice.

same.

I think starting at FR is bad advice for most people switching over from limit. NL is sooooooooooooooooooo boring and slow compared to limit, that even playing 6max NL from FR limit its a tough transition. I can't imagine how mind numbing FR would be. For me getting over the boringness of NL was the hardest part in becomng a NL player. Which is why I never switched for so long, I had even tried a couple times in the past and I just couldnt handle the drop in action.
