Whats wrong w/ calling some of these hands from CO? Doesn't really seem to be a raise or fold situation. I guess I'm not really seeing the point of your poll.

nothing's wrong with calling...but those hands could be raised shorthanded. and since this situation creates a "shorthanded" type of atmosphere it seems reasonable you could raise it, buying the button, and take a stab at the pot on the flop.

basically, the question i want answered...is if a "shorthanded" type of situation comes up, do you treat it as if it were shorthanded, or still treat it like full ring?

or put it another way, do you loosen up raising standards vs fewer opponents in a full ring game?
