Lowest starting hand requirement?
«

I'd like to get a consensus of what everyone would consider to be the lowest starting hand they'd limp in from various positions in the game. I consider myself to be fairly tight (4 card - 8 out - draws, KK+ and better) at a full table, although anything's game as the table gets smaller and smaller (as it should be in any variation of poker). I generally look to get in cheap and look more for strict pot odds than implied odds, as you are only given one additional round of betting to make the most of your hand - and given how many you draw, it may be very easy to read your hand.
What about everyone else?

I actually read this post before starting this tournament and i used the kk+ rule,
However in position i'd say to play JJ+ and raise with KK+ to obtain the blinds ( worked good for me )
I limped alot of openeded and flush draws, kind a what you were saying,
It worked out good since i won

At the start with small blinds I limp in a lot more often, sometimes even every pair, just to try and hit and get some kind of a stack going early on. With higher blinds this is impossible and you can only play good pairs or better. Not even draws, except for open ended straight flush draws maybe, the other just have way too small odds of hitting.
I'm no 5CD expert, but that's how I play normally..
