Default Starting hands question #3 and #4 (party 10/20 6max)

3) What are the minimum calling hands from SB with one caller to you?

My current answers this would be 22; A2 (suited and offsuit); K9o, K2s; Q9o, Q2s; J9o, J7s; T9s-54s, T8s-43s

4) What are the minimum calling hands from SB with two callers to you?

22; any suited hand; A8o; K9o; Q9o; J9o; T9o. How about unsuited connectors down to 54o with 7-1 to see the flop?

Thanks for your input.

With only 1 limper u should focus more on high cards because u will often win with a pair and u will not get drawing odds.

K8o is much better then 54s if only 1 caller, with K8o there is even a good chance u are ahead preflop. With 2 limpers u can start to focus more on drawing hands.

I know, I know. But still: Is 43s or even 54s a fold with 5-1 to see the flop and the odds to take at least one off with oesd or flush draw? And is it close or not?

(Note: I play 5/10 so the blind structure is 2/5 which makes things a little different.)

Maybe I am too tight in the small blind, but I don't think playing some of the lower suited cards (76s to 43s) is a great idea in a three way pot.

I dont stoop down to any two suited with two limpers either, but my blind structure a little different as well.

I know, but with 7-1 preflop and about 5-1 postflop, donīt you think any two suited would be worth a call for the flush draw alone?
