Default 5 player PP tables



Just a question for anyone who has had some success on the 5 player tables. How much do you relax your opening standards from a full table ring game (If at all).


If you are UTG do you just play it as if you were 2 off the button in a ring game and everyone has folded?


For example, I find myself playing any Ace on the 5 player tables. I would muck A-3o in a ring game 2 off the button.


Any suggestions are welcome.

MY BEST ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE TO WATCH WHAT THE WINNING PLAYERS DO AND LEARN THE STYLE OF GAME THAT HE IS WINNING IN, THAT IS A BIG FACTOR, NO ONE CAN SAY FOR SURE WHETHER TO CALL WITH A 3OFF DEPENDS ON THE GAME, I AM THE BEST

Playing "any" ace is wrong, and normally playing A3o in 2 is a leak. You shouldn't adjust your starting hand requirements by position against unknown opponents 5-handed much differently than you would at a full ring game. You can, however, adjust to your opponents faster because you have better information about how they play -- you see them in hands more often -- and your opponents will adjust incorrectly based on their recent wins or losses because short-handed is more streakier, allowing you to counter-adjust, and so forth. In LL games, this isn't as big a factor because so many opponents are way too loose, passive and tenacious, allowing you win by just waiting for decent hands.

$2-3K. 1 to 2 bets per hour per table.
