you need to remember that 6 max is not all that different from 10 max. It's still texas holdem.
The other day I was playing 50NL 6 max for the first time in my life 'cos I was trying to clear empire bonus and there weren't enough full ring tables and I absolutely crushed it without deviating too much (I play 200NL normally, which probably helps)
pre flop you can just play as if you're in MP or LP. I say KJo is about the borderline for opening UTG. Don't limp also. if you're playing a low pair or SC, you either raise or fold (you can call a raise).
post flop you can either play conservatively... OR since this post is about bluffing you have to get in there and make lots of bets and RAISES. Raise with a good hand, raise with a draw, raise with a missed AK, raise with shit. If in doubt just raise. Don't ALWAYS bet if checked to. Do it about 90% though if you've made the PFR. You have to also play your good hands fast. Also, semi bluffs are king. The free card raise should be employed often. If you're in the BB with absolute rubbish then you don't generally bluff.
Leading into the pre flop raiser is something I like to do. Do it when u call in the BB with SC/PP and flop with trips or 2 pair or a made hand, and if they raise you just come over the top of them. You can even do it with a draw (a 13 out you definitely lead-3bet). Read the board too... if you're in BB and the flop comes 257 then u have a credible bluffing opportunity. if you call a raise with 66 and the board is AK10 well i just check fold.
After that its just feel and reads. Remember that you *do* get streaks of bad cards where you can't really do much (people open when ur on the button, etc.) and you'll lose money. It happens. Wait for decent pre flop hands and then push them to the limit. PT helps as well
