I agree on having more time to build strong reads. However, with only 6 players at your table, it's a little bit easier to develop better reads.
I don't mind 6 max, but only when the blinds/levels are slower. 8/9 max will always be my preferred choice for tournaments.
Emotions definitely play their part. I try to work on keeping my emotions in check, and don't let it affect my decisions even when I'm frustrated. It's easy to tilt players that cannot control their emotions.
You would have to start by playing freerolls. Once you accumulate $5, or $10 from freerolls start at the lowest stakes, and work your way up.
I recommend 55 cent buy-ins, especially if your a new player. Learn to dominate those stakes, before you move up. I also recommend getting good at one...

It's typically bad etiquette in poker to leave in a cash game immediately after you win a hand. I don't play cash games anymore, but I've done it myself(live) in the past.
Odds, and outs help you make correct decisions when playing poker. However, I don't always play by the book, and I pick my spots to make moves.
