Default Re: Kill myself, or what?

Do you mean I'm not defending enough, or not playing well enough after the flop?

Both.

I will defend hands as weak as 76o to an open raise from the Button or SB, but then I don't really know what to do postflop. My general line is to checkraise if I pair up or flop a draw, and fold everything else.

Huge problem, and this corresponds to playing multiple tables and not defending enough. You aren't getting good reads on the other players. Initially, I recommend that you play fewer tables but spend the down time concentrating on what the other players are doing. I don't really find this boring as it helps me make money. Gradually, as you get better at postflop play, you can increase the tables again.

I really believe that strong play in the BB is the key to owning 6-max. To support this, my fold BB to steal is only 36.09% and I am only losing 0.02 BB/hand in over 17k hands.

I also noticed that you are way too tight on the button. Raise more, and don't be afraid to overlimp after loose passive players.
