I've been exclusively playing 6max 10nl on bodog as I learn cash and i feel like my game has improved 10 fold (was an avg at best cash game player fwiw). its really not worth opening ace rag hands from EP. avoid putting yourself in spots where you'll most likely be oop. A lot of SNG players and even MTT players have a hard time grasping just how important having position is because they are hardly ever deeper than 50bbs. The deeper you are the more position matters. I do like to raise mid suited connectors from any position because our hand has deception and as john said you can barrel a lot of turn cards. (big cards Q, K, A..flush and straight draw cards). I also find that i can over limp pretty much any decent hand from the button because the players that limp are pretty much looking to spike the flop, if they don't, they check/fold. I like to over limp hands that play well in multi-way pots, suited connectors, small pairs, Axs, Kxs etc. because when i miss i can so often win the pot on the flop by betting when checked to and when i hit there are more people in the pot for someone to have something. i still iso raise from LP with my hands that don't play well in multi-way pots. in general tighten up in EP and most people can loosen up in LP.
