The NL Live Game that I play at is a bit similiar to this. No there arent people with 74o calling flop bets and hitting running 4s or anything... but in the sense that a typical unraised pot has 6 players on average in it, and the range of hands is fairly broad. This is easier to adapt to in NL than Limit obviously, since you cant force anyone out.

In my non expert limit opinion, I'd see flops with MORE hands. That's right more. Ace X suited, Suited connectors/ 1 gappers and baby pairs ESPECIALLY. I'd of course still see with medium/big pairs and big cards, but I'd value off suit broadway a little lower than usual cuz of it's lack of versitility and liklihood to only give me one pair (even if it is the top one). In this type of game it seems as picking up a big drawing hand like JTs would probably be more ideal than picking up Aces, as you'd know where you were at a bit easier and get paid off when you hit and not lose any more when you didnt.

From the way you described this game, very rarely bluff, and very rarely slowplay. Wait for big hands and get paid off huge. Draw without worries (still not against odds) and count implied odds odd more than usual since it seems you'll get paid off each time. In addition when you have a strong hand and aren't sure where you may be at. UTILIZE THE CHECK CALL OPTION on later streets.

Finally don't let the loose play change your hand selection. Well, it should effect it -- Yes I told you in the beginning to open it up -- but I meant see flops with hands that hit. The more possibilities a hand has the better it is in this situation. This doesn't mean play K7o or 82s because someone just won with 73 last pot -- don't go to their level. But you wanna be seeing as many flops as possibile with solid starting hands, because your implied odds seem so large (and you always seem to be getting 6:1 on your money... so 1 win in 6 breaks you even if you don't win any more money in that hand (not the case)...you'll come out ahead.

Again, I don't play limit -- but that's my take.
