Re: 3/6 Maximizing vs. TAG

That's something I'd like to discuss (or if any of you have a link to a prior thread on the topic, that would be better).
I don't "usually" fold small pocket pairs on the button vs. a CO openraise, at least not if the CO is a TAG. In this case in particular I felt his initial raising standards would be fairly low because of the blinds...the cap when it got down to HU obviously showed that he had a huge hand.
But is this a fold preflop? It seems like I'm often going to have the best hand preflop, and if I can get it to heads up with position I should be able to escape for a minimal loss if I'm outflopped. I know making a play like this adds to my variance, but I can handle that aspect of it.
I'm still a noob to short-handed play, so I appreciate any & all advice y'all can give me. If I sounded dismissive earlier, it wasn't intented that way.
I just checked on PT, and it's a small sample size & all, but over my first 15k 6max hands on FT I'm showing a profit on all pocket pairs except 44 & 22. I'm VPIP'ing at least 50% on all of them. Is that typical of 6max, or just a byproduct of the sample size?
