Conventional wisdom around another room I play is that this game is tough and/or rife with collusion. To the contrary, I find that it has its moments and sometimes is quite good (~4 to the flop, much cold calling, some open limping made more justifiable by the other loose play).
The trick is to time it to maximize time in the main game and minimize time in the feeder[s]. If I were 6th or 7th on the list for a new game, and the new game turned out to be a dud, I would probably go play something else. Obviously the best is to find a time you can walk right into the main game; I'll leave that for you to work out.
If people are colluding, they're very bad at it. In reality, I suspect the folks (Hideaway regs) convinced there's so much collusion at Lil's are confusing wonton aggression with collusion. Often in the Lil's 20 two regs will get in raising wars just to be cheeky. That's not collusion and it's easy to beat (although waiting for good hands is boring).
I'm probably encouraging you to make the game tougher at the times I play, so I hope you appreciate it.
