Personally I do not play differently on a 6-person table. When we are down to 4 or less, I play Ax, Kx suited and hands like QJ, KJ, etc, since chances are any ace or king is good.
The advantage of playing shorthanded is that there are less players to observe, so you can usually get a better idea of their styles. Use that information: if they are tight, steal. If the're loose, wait to bust them with a monster. I found that on 9 player tables it is much more work to keep track of everybody, so IMO that's where the real advantage of shortstacked tables lies.
