Default Re: 5cd open

"Conservatively", for legitimate hands in fixed limit draw,
the minimum OPEN RAISING hands are:

utg) KKA+
hijack) QQK+
cutoff) JJQ+
button) 99T+
sb) 667+

It turns out you can open lighter in most situations (but
not by much) but I won't go into details. I like the above
schedule because it is easy to remember for anybody new to
the game and these hands aren't really quite the minimum, so
anyone using the schedule won't get into too much trouble!

You can also use these for PL draw if you open for the
minimum, but you would have to tighten up a bit if you open
close to the maximum.

If somebody else has opened, you have to consider the "gap
principle". I'll let others elaborate.
