Does standard 6m strat change for Small Sites?

I've found a juicy site to play on with v little traffic. The traffic isn't really a problem as I have the time to play whenever the tables warrent it. But I am finding the play pretty erratic in comparison to playing 6 max NL .10/.25 on sites like party poker, poker stars or full tilt.

There's a hell of a lot of limping from any position... pre flop raises seem to get very little respect... the players who are good seem to overuse a very strict short stack strategy sometimes buyin in for as little as 8BB up to 16BB.

Should I carry on with the standard 4BB+1 pfr raise as I've been doing on the bigger site or do i adjust? They get no respect and are likely to be called with ATCs.

Secondly, whats the best way to play against these short stacks, there is always at least 1 at a table, thanks for any replies in advance!

6m strat should always be adjusted according to the 5 other people at the table.

If they don't respect raises, raise bigger and raise less until you find a balance. 4+1 is a guideline, not a rule. How they play post affects the rest of your starting hand criterion.

No way they can play "good" if they're that short. If they're behind you, just stack off with almost everything that you're opening (assuming they're not uber tight). You should only be opening pretty big hands from the first two positions anyway. If they're in front of you just be aware that they might limp/push if you raise and plan accordingly.

If they call with position:
Depends on how they play. If they rarely call a push I"m pushing every flop I miss. If they're almost always calling I'm pushing anytime I have TP+ a big draw, or two overcards. If they like to fold I'll probably check if I hit and let them push they're chips in.

If they double up and stay I would expect them to continue to stack off light on flops, just pay attention to what they do in other hands (although it sucks because sometimes you're the only aggressive person at the table)

Thanks swiggidy that seems like some very sound advice there! Thanks for taking the time to write it.

i will give it a crack and let you know how i get on.

Curious to know why you feel this way?

Did you dislike the interface, support, traffic, quality of games, something else ...?

I didn't like playing on pokertime because of difficulties cashing out, difficulties finding games (I had to play SNGs to clear the bonus), etc.
