PLO8 - Hands to play UTG??

[RiverJammer1]

Hi,
I want to improve my PLO8 and I am looking for hands to play UTG. I am not sure how tight to play UTG but it seems you need a very good hand in this game if you are UTG.

Right now I have played 5100 hands and i am 7.54 BB/100 at $25 PLO8.

UTG I am only -$5.15 which isn't too bad i guess.

So I just want to improve. I try to limp a lot a junk in UTG that I should be probably folding.

Can somebody please help me make a list that I can stick to??

Here is what I think i should be playing:
A2WW A2W6 A3ww A3W6 AA2W AA35 A356 2345 KQJT KKJT

Is it ok to limp A25Q if the A is suited to one of the cards?


Obviously suited is better.

Any hands that I am missing??

Thanks.

I've always assumed A2 -paint-paint with a suited ace (ie Ah Kh 2s Jd is very playable utg since it's a decent HU hand but also speculative. Is this a bad assumption?

You just gave me a reason to post this beautiful pattern in my position stats:



As you can see I am almost as loose in early position as in late position. At the low limits you make the most money postflop, therefore you are able to play loose preflop. Only if the table is very aggressive and there is a lot of preflop raising you should pick your starting hands carefully in early position.
