5cd open
Basicly, what opening recs do you have at a 6-handed 5 card draw table?

Re: 5cd open
(Assuming unopened pot)
UTG: AA and up Next seat: KK and up and so on... Same range to non-tricky players who limp, but add a SB for each limper; concider betting the pot for your lesser hands. In a raised pot the gap principle applies: you need a better hand to call then to open. I fold all pairs, most 2 pairs, bottom trips. Top trips get reraised. For the blinds, SB can raise any pair against just the BB, but tighten up if he suspects this. For pat hands… well, hard to misplay the nuts, right? |

Re: 5cd open
You fold bottom trips to a raise? IMO it is ok to fold 222 for example to a raise+re-raise+call but certainly not against a single raise.

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. |

Re: 5cd open
That is 5 handed in case you didn't catch it.

Re: 5cd open
Ok, this might be a naive question, but why do the kickers matter ? If I entered the pot with the hands that BigPooch lists then I would be drawing three. Is this an incorrect play ? Or, is the kicker only important because it reduces the chances of a later player having a higher pair ?

Re: 5cd open
You almost always draw three except for a few well known
cases (e.g., you are likely up against AA and you have AA with a high kicker). The main reason is that it reduces the chances of an opponent holding a higher pair. Also, on the button, you prefer to have better than 99T since many players won't lay down a pair of jacks from the small blind, so you probably want 99J or better. In the small blind, the kicker really doesn't matter much at all; i.e., any pair of sixes will do. |
