    Default Starting hands - 5 Handed

    just curious as to how much everyone loosens up in a cash game of 5. thanks.

    I was playing five and six handed tonight live for the first time in months. It took a few orbits to get a feel for things again.

    I found myself tossing AT away habitually until I realized that it is a premium hand!

    Aside from my majority play hands, five handed I will add all 20 hands (two face cards), all Kx suited, and hands like J8s, Q9s and T8s. I will also raise with any ace unless it's raised already then I'll usually fold or perhaps reraise depending on my read. And on the button I'll play and raise with mediocre hands.

    I usually raise any 2 down to KTo, depending on table and how im feeling raise any pairs down to 88. Sometimes even raise with random suited connectors because it makes me feel special.

    I dont usually play for flushes so the Kx's I dont usually play. Also I dont play every ace because I like to be the one betting and raising any hand im in (especially 6max) and it would just feel weird to raise with A8o.
