I know it might not exactly be correct to post this here, but I didn't want a bunch of generic/pointless replies.
Last night I found myself at a 5NL 6-max table w/ almost all players with Vp$p averaging something rediculous like 50 and a mix between guys PFR 40% of hands down to 3%. They were almost all below 50% Fold to Flop bet and a ton of hands were good amount of hands were going to showdown (wouldn't be suprised if around 20% of those were >2 players).
JUICY! was the first thing i thought, but I couldn't capitalize (actually lost a little, although only got about 100 or so hands). My main problems were when I was in CO or BTN, I really had no fold equity raising 5xbb w/ usually 2 limpers already in. I'm assuming I should bumb this up.
Also I realize that 6-max requires a looser play and therefore more marginal situations. I found a lot of trouble with hands like Ax that I would get 2+ callers almost 90% of the time and when I didn't hit I was always floated on my c-bets by one of the players and facing more resistance than I usually do. Should I have taken these hands out of my range or would it have made me way too tight and unprofitable?
I'm trying to look for some guidance from people that have played at these types of extremely loose tables for 6-max and how to take advantage of them, how much tighter your starting hands should be (if this is even profitable), and how much larger you preflop raises usually get. What types of hands are we willing to get it in with that we normally wouldn't, preflop or flop?
