Default 6-max: Calling Preflop raise with weak offsuit?

After reading Ed's article on trying 6-max games, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm trying to get a handle on preflop strategy with less players. On a full ring, I'm pretty tight, following the recommendations in SSHE. Adjustments I made for 6-max tables were to play any ace and sometimes any king with a somewhat decent (7 or higher kicker). I would also loosen my preflop raising conditions (e.g. KTo).

One hand I have a question on is the following. In SSHE, Ed states that many suited cards in the big blind are playable against a preflop raise, given two or more limpers. I loosened this up a bit, and in the following hand there was a caller, raiser, and me. I called with a weak suited hand, but I feel the pot odds were compelling. Further, I suspect I might have called with this hand even against a steal attempt. Am I overadjusting and playing too loose in these short-handed situations?

The Reason I ask is someone made a somewhat snide comment against my call, otherwise I wouldn't have thought anything of it....


P.S., I was going to check raise on the flop, but the PF raiser didn't bite.
