I just ran into a break even stretch of 30K hands at 25NL 6 max after grinding it for 15bb/100 over 20Khands. I usually play 20vpip/10pfr and seem to not be able to cash in properly latelly. Making 2-3 buy-ins on one table to dump one or two on two others and not getting paid on my big hands.
Thus said, I have started to open up much more and raising and reraising alot in position (Btn,CO) making it 30ishvpip/17ishpfr and have had good results over 1000 hands. It seems people play back so much more.
My question is, knowing 25NL is no foldem holdem and re-raises get little respect. Is this sustainable over the long un or am i just runing hot.
any comments are apreciated...thanks

My guess is 30K break even = variance´+ tilt just like the break even stretch I'm going trough at the moment
Look over your postflop play instead of preflop play ad you'll be in good shape.
25NL I'm sure you can nit camp and get paid in the run.

I don't think nutcamping is all that great in 6max unless you want to run at low ptBB/100. If you look at winning players at these stakes, they typically play a fair amount of pots with everyone at the table and apply pressure, basically waiting for the bad players to make mistakes sooner or later. It doesn't necessarily have to be preflop though, although that's what I prefer too. (some winning players are like 60/5 at lower stakes, they work their magic mostly postflop)
You're probably running somewhat hot but I think your ideas are valid.
The thing I'm personally working on atm is thinner value bets. I have this tendency to only really come out guns blazing with the nuts, but this is really bad. Even if your hand isn't too strong, if you're pretty sure you are ahead, bet/raise. This has two bonusses.. first, you make more money. Second, people see you bet/raise so often they are gonna start looking you up more. Ofcourse you have to be careful not to trap yourself.
I've now grinded out the BR to move up, but I'm debating whether to do that, or try out a playstyle where I play a lot more hands, just to work on my postflop play..
