As a new player, it is sometimes easy to be fooled by the "multiway potential" of some hands. Winning 25% of the time in a 6 way pot is both crushing the game equity wise and quite disappointing. Which of the hands above is "bad" multiway? 88? AQo? Once their kicker is worse than your pocket pair or they play dominated Ax, your hand is a dominating crusher multiway. Sure, you're losing to hidden low two pairs or sneaky trips, and somebody is hitting their 85o for a stealth double gutter disturbingly often. However, you're printing money.
Let's look at your range 6 ways. We have your "nemesis" who 3 bets 5% and calls 90%. We have a typical 3% 3! and calls 50% cold caller. A 3% and 60% next cold caller and both blinds playing 100% of hands. Your UTG range has 30% equity 6 ways.
That's almost double your fair share. You're printing money in this spot.

Your two worst hands are wildly profitable.
If you're playing wider than this, download equilab and re-run the simulations I did (you can copy my villain ranges into the sim). It is a great tool and worth learning.
