Default 6-Max UTG Raising ranges

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.

Default Re: 6-Max UTG Raising ranges

{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.

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.

In LP yes, but not UTG, my PT numbers say not to anyway...

AJ -

I assume that a lot of the money you make with suited aces comes from playing them v. aggressive when you flop a flush draw?

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

I am about 20/12 at 5/10.

AK-AT {0, 0, 1}
A9s-A8s {0, 0, 1}
KQo/KQs {0, 0, 1}
22-55 {.2, 0, .8}
66+ {0, 0, 1}
SCs {.5, 0, .5}
S One Gappers {.5, 0, .5}

I can't remember the last time I limped UTG. Hell, I can't remember the last time I open limped period. Are people really open limping/limping UTG that much? I guess maybe things are different on Party?



Edit: For people who ask why some want to keep their names secret, it's a post like this.
