As you mentioned, your VPIP is too low. You need to find some new spots to raise. Attack the weak tight ones more(yes,they're there). Be careful when raising loose players (I'm not saying raise less), but you often have to slow down if the flop misses you. As you said, they'll call you down with weak holdings. I've been experimenting a bit sometimes just limping in (even first in) against loose players. I know most experts dont give this advice, but it seems to comfuse the fish, and often they will fold more easily on the flop if you come out betting. Being unpredictable (but still tight-aggressive) is key in shorthanded games. You have to make sure your opponents make mistakes all the time.

Needless to say, you must value bet a lot with your stronger holdings.

I'm not sure if this is any help. Its hard to get thoughts down in writing even after 55k shorthanded hands at 0.5/1
