Default miller SSHE: small oversight in tables and question

sorry, don't have book in front of me, but when i checked last night, i noticed that for small and big blind play there is no advice for playing against raise/reraise (i.e. two raises)...

probably not a big oversight as the advice for early, mid and late were all pretty similar (if not the same, at least for when you raise back AA-QQ, AKs if i'm not mistaken).

my question is this: has anyone attempted a table for between the loose and tight tables?? my experience is that 3-5 (tight table) average callers is too tight and 6-8 (loose table) average callers is too loose... i think 5-6 average callers is the table you want.

i'm thinking about this.... yeah, i think 4, 5, 6 callers is the most common where i play and would constitute 85%+ of the hands... now i'm trying to remember the language, whether the tight is 3-5 callers or 3-5 see the flop (big blind is often checking).... anyhow, really need a table between the two tables. i suppose i could do it, but i'd just be chopping down the centre and no idea if it's correct.

Good question...the way I split the difference is to generally play close to the "loose" table recommendations in late position and blinds, but use the "tight" recommendations in UTG through UTG+2, until I get a good feel for the table and am able to adjust from there. In most of the games I play, it's usually not long before I transition to the "loose game" recommendations. I've interpreted the "3-5" and "6-8" to number of people seeing the flop, including blinds.

A separate but related observation...obviously, one assumption of the chart is that the table is full. Well, "full" online is 10 players, while at the 12 or so B&M casinos at which I've played, "full" is typically 9 players. That may be splitting hairs a bit, but that does mean that the gray area around 5-6 callers (which also happens to be most typical), becomes a little grayer still...
