Adjusting to 5-max?

    Default Adjusting to 5-max?

    I'm playing small stakes 5max NL hold'em at Boss Media atm.

    Question 1: I raise crap like KJx, QJx, ATx from UTG. My play from UTG is profitable but with a small sample of hands I'm not yet sure if I should tighten up, should I?

    Question 2: I raise drawing hands from button if there's only one limper. Suited connectors and AXs for example. I get very good results doing this. However if there are 2 limpers I tend to limp with small suited connectors and AXs. Should I raise instead?

    Any other advice about adjusting from 6max to 5max is welcome.

    1) Those seem like standard adjustments to the point of nosebleed. AT is very solid here. I personally would also raise stuff like 78s+, TJ0+, all pairs.

    2) I'd play 'em exactly like that. You could raise also, and I might depending on if flop cbets are respected. Most limpers will see the flop and c/f after they miss. Some can't fold bottom pair on the flop. Learn who's who. Most of my raises in that spot would likely be trying to isolate a bad player.
