TP in position

do NOT fold pre, if he's opening tight enough you want to fold but isn't only opening the uber nuts then 3b. also there is no NEED to raise the flop here it's actually pretty fin bad here.

Ok, this is 5-handed, and I've had this discussion before when I joined this site. Do we assume an UTG range for opener, or a HJ range? When I'm playing 5-handed, I'm still very tight from UTG, and still assume UTG is raising tight unless I see showdowns to tell me otherwise. That's why I fold, but if this is a leak I need to address it. I have respect for a 19/17 UTG 5-handed, maybe too much respect. Is it reasonable to think villain could be raising KTs and the like?

If you're playing 5-handed and you're 2 off of the button, that's the same as if you're 6-handed and the guy 3 off of the button folds. All under the gun means is that you're the first person to act. I mean if you're the first person to act 4-handed, are you saying you should open similar ranges as if you're the first person to act 10-handed? You're not the first person to ask this, but come on.

No, not at all, but do we play tighter in UTG 5-handed as maybe HJ 9-handed when folded round?

If a game is 9-handed and it's folded round to HJ, who opens, I give him a looser range, obviously, than when he opens UTG. But if I then play this same player 5-handed, should his UTG opening range be similar to his HJ opening range 9-handed? Or should we play tighter? I realise I'm probably asking dumb questions, but I'm folding KTs UTG 5-handed, and maybe not 9-handed when folded to me at the HJ. Am I playing too tight UTG 5-handed, and assuming too tight an opening range for players in this position?
