I must say that I thought it would have been worse. It definately felt worse.

My second 6max 4NL session was decent. I did make a few bad calls, where I put money in when I was behind, but this time it was my turn to suck out a couple of times. Still I was running over my tables most of the time and raising so many hands and betting so often makes people thing you're full of it all the time, so I got calls on some big hands. I also noticed I was able to make a good read several times and making notes and watching how my opponents play did improve my result.

Also I focused on 3betting this session, looking for spots to 3bet myself and keeping a close eye on when others were 3betting.

In one hand I decided to 3bet with AQo when villain playing something like 20/14 raised OTB to 3x. He folded quickly.

A few hands later a standard situation I guess: a really tight (especially for 6max) player playing stats like 9/4 makes it 5x in the CO after one player has limped.
Obviously, I put him on a pretty decent hand, somthing like AQ+ or TT+.
I'm in the SB with AA, so now I'm hoping my aggressive image will pay off. I decide to raise big to 4x, making it $0.80 to go and soon enough all the money goes in, him holding KK and I felt him.

A third hand I 3bet, a somewhat aggressive player raises OTB and I 3bet 4x with AKs from the SB, villain calls. The flop is a rainbow jack and two lows, one heart. Maybe I should have cbet this flop but I checked as did villain. Turn is a 9 and I decide to check again, because I feel I cannot rep much here and by now villain might have made a pair or more. Villain bets and I let it go. I probably would have bet myself if that 9 was a heart.

Well, at least I was doing things for a reason (right or wrong) instead of just betting and hope for the best of it.

Have a nice day!
