For the past month I've been getting back into online poker on Americas Cardroom and I'm trying to figure out what most peoples opening range at these stakes are playing 6-max under the gun?

For me I'd say 99+,T9s+, and JKo+.

Does anyone find it profitable to limp here ever? Maybe with lower pocket pairs?

I am not playnig on Americas Cardroom, but I guess those ranges are similar everywhere.

For me I'd say 99+,T9s+, and JKo+.

On 6-max I would definitely open wider. On full ring, utg is tough, but 6-max it is acutally Lo Jack. While on full ring I would open 66+, on 6-max I think it is ok to open 22+ actually by default. Adding to that 78s+ is fine imho, A5-A2s, AK-AT, QTs+.

This is because NL2 is rather loose / passive. If table gets aggressive then it is always possible to adjust.

I try to never limp, because in this case:
1. You loose ability to represent stronger holding and bluff.
2. If you flop set, which is basically the main reason to even consider playing low pocket pairs from that position in the first place (huge implied odds), you want to get money in anyway.
3. Limp from early position often gets raise or multiple limpers behind, which are both bad for your hand.
4. You would have to have some other hands in your limping range, because once somebody sees that you limped low pair, it gets easier to read you.

Limping sometimes is not a bad idea, especially if you can can mix in limping some premium hands as well. It depends on the table dynamics as well. If you are at a tight table that's an invitation to limp a few marginal hands to see if you can nail some flops. If you are at an aggresive table, limping premium hands may not be a bad idea if you expect a raise to follow. I think saying never and always in poker is too wide.
