But I'll tell you one approach that I think is key, and which unfortunately no one stressed to me when I started six-max: do not hesitate to get up and find a different table if the situation does not seem right, i.e., if your position is bad, the combination of players seems wrong for you and/or you happen to be losing a lot at that table. I believe I would have avoided some very bad sessions had I stuck to this approach.

This is gold. I think that table image and your confidence at a table are of amplified importance in short-handed tables. All my worst single-day losses have involved staying way too long at tables where I was running very badly. Quite often in these sessions I was up on say 8 of the 12 tables I played on, but lost my shirt on the few that I stubbornly refused to let go.
