Default SHH strategies in loose mid-limit games

sorry if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it...

do you guys recommend using SHH strategies in these types of games, or are you using more HFAP strategies and less SSH?

I'm specifically talking about:

** raising mid-pair on the flop after an intial bet to get others behind you to fold.

** More often than not calling down a CR on the turn with an overpair and some decent "hidden" outs.

and so on....

It just seems that there's not much difference between the majority of these players and a $3-$6 game at the Orleans. What do you guys think?

Depends on the game and the particular opponents.

Which type of games? The SSH strategies are primarily designed for passive games. Once the play becomes more aggressive you should adapt.

There's nothing magical about the denomination of chips in play at a table. If the game fits the preconditions in SSH, go ahead and use concepts from there.
A friend who is very into martial arts tells me you don't master different styles and then use them in a vacuum, rather you would likely make use of different styles in the same fight. I think it's a pretty good anaology for poker- pull out the crouching tiger or hidden dragon (SSH or HEPFAP) as appropriate-depending on whether it's a loose/tight/passive/aggressive game, and whether loose/passive or tight/aggressive players have entered the pot already. Remember that both books are essentially explorations of the theory of poker given different opposition.
