Any suggestions/opinions are welcome.
I think regular tables are beatable, mainly full ring (yes, even with ante). At 6 max tables, though, the variance can be a bit high at times since players there can be a bit too trigger happy IMO (and without a hud, I've found it's hard not to take bad decisions eventually under such circumstances).
So, at 6 max it's not uncommon for me to tilt at one point or another but, for me at least, the game seems to be much more manageable at full ring.
Also, one more thing to consider is that, while rake is indeed a bit too high, I often end up making a good chunk back in rakeback with their ggcare and ggcheers program (as well as with their leaderboards and fish buffet, but you said you don't play a big enough volume so those two are inconsequential for you). And here's where full ring is also better than 6max, since for some reason one usually gets awarded more chips for the daily tournament at full ring than at 6max, and I've observed that once you're awarded around 30k chips or so, you will usually cash in most of the times (though weirdly enough, the two days I've cashed out the most there were a couple of times in which I only had about 5k chips or so).
I think the reason one gets more chips at ggcare/ggcheers at full ring than at 6max is that your stack is twice as large there, and I think they give you more ggcare/ggcheers chips if you won/lost more money in that particular hand.
