Flops seen percentage

[ripwalk]

I was wondering, what is consider a reasonable flops seen percentage for shorthanded games? As in, what should the standard TAG flops seen percentage be in shorthanded, in comparison to full?

Also, on Paradise the shorthanded tables are 5 max ...Should things loosen up in 5 handed compared to 6 handed, and if so, how much?


Also, I seem to recall seeing a hands chart for short handed play somewhere here before. If someone could direct me to it, that would be great.

the reason vpip goes up is because you're in position to steal the blinds more often, and you're in the blinds having to defend them more often.

so yes, 5-handed is different from 6-handed.

one way to think of it is (and use the charts) -
instead of how many positions from the BB am I (e.g. UTG, etc) is how many positions off the button am I

In 5 handed there is SB, BB, MP, CO, BU

what hands would you bet from MP, CO and BU if everyone has folded to you? (especially since there a fewer possible hands out)
