Default Re: 6 or more to the flop--differences in starting hands, NLHE, vs. LHE?

I don't like just transferring SSHE's (which I would consider a limit hold'em book) starting hand recommendations from LHE to NLHE.

You have vastly more versatility with preflop raise sizes. If you're still having 6 people to the flop and you want less, a simple adjustment would be to simply raise more.

If you have a cardrunners membership, there was a good article and video series with small stakes NL, which included a rough starting hand 6-max guide. It looked pretty sharp to me and I'm sure it should be a very effective default preflop strategy to learn from.

In the early stages of learning NL, CR is really too good to be passed over anymore. I know it's a decent amount of money up front to some of you guys playing the micros, but it can really accelerate the learning curve. I mean everyone's got all of these same books now.
