6-Max UTG Raising ranges

[AJFenix]

It seems to me that a several regulars on here have a higher raise % than me, yet do not raise certain hands I do UTG. List what hands you raise UTG at an average table at your stakes. Mention if a certain hand varies based on whatever.

For me its something like:

Any suited ace (most of the time), AJo+ KQo, any suited broadway, TT+ always, 88 and 99 I vary between limping and raising a lot, other pocket pairs I limp a lot but will still raise with any of them occasionally, and connectors/gappers REALLY depend on table conditions. I may opt to pitch some of the nonpair hands mentioned from time to time, depending on table conditions as well.

{fold call raise}

Axs: {.70 .10 .20}
AJo, KQo raise
QJs fold
22+ {0 .50 .50}
SCs {.70 .10 .20}

I'm 22/14 or so. I fold most drawing hands OOP, its too hard to get paid. If I'm in a loose mood, I'll go as far as 25/18, and it's all coming from CO and BTN, my UTG opening range doesn't really change. Maybe I'll raise speculative hands a little more, but I'm still usually folding them.

22+ includes premium pairs? Which ones do you limp-reraise?

Raising any suited ace most of the time UTG sounds really bad to me.

I raise and steal a lot in the late positions, even with hands such as 57o, but in the early positions I'm very cautious about raising.

What I usually raise UTG is AQ+ 99+. If there are loose callers that play bad postflop AND the table is not overly agressive preflop, I will raise with AJ KQ and maybe KJ as well. If the table has a lot of tight or tricky players I mix in occasional raises with suited connectors and low pocket pairs.

KJo really utg sucks. To me, suited aces are a cash crop [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

I used to raise any suited ace UTG at anytime. Now I'm trying to be more aware of my image and occasionally mucking depending on how frequently I have been raising recently. I probably raise/fold about 50/50. I don't mind playing the suited aces out of position because if I flop the nut flush draw, I can lead out and get raised and then just jam all in.

ATo I muck, and KJo is of course a total dog hand.

Suited broadways I will raise UTG probably 90% of the time. I will occasionally limp if I have been raising very frequently.

I also used to raise a hand like 78 suited UTG 100%. Now I'm folding 100%. Building drawing hands out of position is just a big leak.

Is KQo a better hand than ATo? How about ATs? Alhough I do this too, it seems strnge to raise KQ but not AT UTG.

KQ plays a lot better than ATo. KQ always makes second pair, second kicker, with only one overcard to worry about. ATo makes top pair with a lousy kicker, or TPTK with tons of overcards to worry about.
