Re: 6-Max UTG Raising ranges
People don't reraise nearly often enough in my games to where thats a major concern. If you can figure out how much wider a player's RR range is then you can adjust, but otherwise most non-PP hands are hitting the muck (especially OOP), unless its something donkish like a minreraise. With full stacks, I will generally see a flop with a pocket pair regardless of OOP or not, because when they make a pot sized reraise its a premium hand more often than not, and I like my implied odds.
Not to mention when I come in raising UTG with a SPP, they reraise with their AA/KK and low rags flop, it will be much harder for them to get away as 1) the pot will already be bloated and money will be going in fast, and 2) its reasonable that I have a weaker overpair or other holding they beat. Same goes if one overcard flops, such as J26, Q35, etc. Compare that to if you limp/call their raise UTG, and wake up and start playing back on that rag flop. Gonna be wayyyy harder to take their stack, as they have much more room to figure out that you have them beat, and you have already given them a ton of information.
