Just want to be sure I'm not too loose. Lately I have been playing a lot of tables at pokerroom with a 5 person max. I play a tight game in 10 player and want to make sure I am not going to loose in 5 player. Along with the usual premium hands we all go in with for 5 player I have added the following:
Ace/anything
King/anything
Queen anything only if suited
Jack anything only if suited
Any suited connector 4-5 and up
any one gap suited connector from 5-7 and up
In the small blind or big blind I am going in with unsuited connectors and unsuited one gap connectors
Also any unsuited connector and one gap unsuited connector from any position from 10J and up and 9J and up
Does this sound reasonable for a 5 player table or am I playing it too loose?

I would say that you are playing too loose. As always, position is important, but playing a J 2 suited with 4 players behind you seems a little excessive. Also, remember that just because you are already in the blind doesn't mean you should feel like you have to play. Nothing is worse than being the small blind and calling with a weak hand and then having to make the first move after the flop.

I play 6 people tables on Party like this.
Axs call one bet. 2 maybe depending on raiser
A-J- raise call 2-3 bet.
A10 call one bet.
K-10 Call one bet.
Suited connectors 8/9+ only from dealer position or blinds.
pairs up to 10 call depending on raise.
Pairs above play as you see fit for your table.
I normally play $100 no limit and only loose money when i jump off my system and try to change my play. But when i stick to this i win. You have to figure out what works for you. Its not how many hands you play its about how much money you make when your in a hand..

Sounds a little on the too loose side to me. I don't play alot of short handed, but I would just consider it this way, there are only 5 positions. Dealer, Blind and BB, 1rst and last position. Obviously everthing depends on the texture of the play, but I would probably treat 1rst position like 1rst position and every other position just like you would in a normal game.
Specifically though, I don't like the K and Q with anything strategy.
