Still adjusting to shorthanded o8

[greatwhite]

Ok, here's something I've found out in the past few months taking up shorthanded o8. The lower limits are often like a full ring ring game since 5 people are often seeing the flop. However, in a tuff game a hand like A229 or A337 is really not playable. Where as in a loose game A578 is less playable since more people will be seeing flops with garbage like KJ42 or 9832 and as you know the more people in the more likely A5 will not hold up for a low. Hands like QQ42 or KK53 also become less playable so it seems. I guess what I'm asking is how do you figure out what to play in a 6 handed game due to the amount of people in the pot?
