Default 5- and 6-player max games

Wondering if anyone has a link for a list of suggested starting hands for a 5- or 6-max table? I'm just wondering what you have to play in addition to what you would play at a normal full table to keep it profitable.

You won't find starting hand charts for short-handed play.
It's a very situational game.

Check out the HUSH forum on 2+2.

I used that chart for a while. I found my SH game improved a lot when I stopped looking at it and started raising more hands. This chart doesn't do any justice to blind play, and you're going to be doing a lot more of it in short games.

My experience though limited is similar. Use the chart to get your feet wet and then adjust adjust adjust.
