I understand there are certain hands that play better in multiway pots and others that are better short-handed. My question is what exactly is considered short-handed/multiway,etc.? Is this right?:
One opponent is heads up.
Two opponents is short-handed.
Three opponents is borderline.
Four or more opponents is multiway.
For example, against only two opponents don't play 87(s) or 65(s), with three opponents it's a borderline decision, with four or more opponents it's okay. Is this about right?
Also, if you know about four opponents see the flop with you alot (that's five players including you), is this considered a loose game? Or do you need usually five opponents for this to be true? How about if it's just you and three opponents? (Again, is it three opponents borderline loose, four opponents definitely loose?)
