I disagree. In fact, playing like this can get you in trouble. In 6 max, there are less cards dealt than in FR. So while KT is mostly a fold in FR it's highly playable in 6max because it's less likely that a higher K was dealt out. Not impossible, just less likely.

If you play it like an extremely tight/passive FR table you are playing too tight and fold alot of hands that are very likely to be best. The fewer number of players at the table, the looser the starting hand requirements.
Yes, very true. For example, if you have AQ in full (10 person) ring, there is a 16.3% chance that you are dominated pf by AA, KK, AK or QQ. In 6 max, that goes down to 9%. That doesn't mean you can't win the hand even if you are dominated pf, but just statistically illustrates the point that your starting hand requirements should change with respect to the number of players at the table.
