5 card draw questions

[sfwusc]

1. You keep the big pair with 4 to a flush, but what about a baby pair and 4 to the flush out of the big blind?

2. Do you really have a general hand starting chart? I am drawing about 1/3 of the time.

How many people are you playing against in question 1?

[sfwusc]

6 in total

No, I mean how many people limped in with you in the BB? If it's just you and the SB I keep the pair, if it's a family pot I draw 1 to the flush.

Borrowing somewhat from the articles linked in the FAQ, at 6-handed table, here are my usual starting hand requirements. I'm just listing the minimum hand I'll play. Obviously, I'm playing anything better, too. Also note that I basically never limp (sometimes I'll limp in the small blind with a draw in a family pot, but that's it) and I'm assuming in these that it's folded to you.

UTG - AA, 4 to a straight flush
UTG+1 - KK
MP - QQ
CO - JJ
BTN - TT
SB - 66

Against a raise and without a read, I'm folding any one pair except for aces. I 3-bet two pairs JJXX+, all trips. I fold small two pair to a 3-bet without a read. I never cap without a pat hand.

Anyone with more 5CD experience please correct this.
