No, I think you and I agree on how many people adhere to such a table.
I think strict adherence, and I mean robotic, literal, don't think just do it adherence, is not something to be worked on but just something to be done on a 2/4-3/6-4/8 level. Sure, most people don't, but the explicit context of my question and the implicit context of the OP was what the next steps were.
Assume you have a SSHE robot which plays SSHE to a T. Also assume they bet TPTK straightforwardly. That's what I call an ABC TAG, and this strategy beats basically all 3/6s and a lot of 6/12s IME. SSHE is not perfect, robotically betting TPTK isn't perfect, but it puts you on the fairway.
Yes, I agree if people aren't playing SSHE-ish preflop, fix that first. I'll also point out if people aren't betting TPTK+, fix that first.
Then what? What are the 7-iron things you need to get on the green?
You can further adjust preflop. I don't like this because optimal for massively multiway pots is not optimal for >20/40, and I think we've had this discussion before and agreed you should shoot for the bigger games ASAP.
But IME, the big questions I had at 6/12 were
(a) How do I win when I'm not getting 3 callers at showdown?
(b) People keep raising draws and then getting there. Halp.
(c) How do I know when people are bluffing?
