43s whatever, if you play well its probably neutral EV.

ATo UTG is a loser.

Yeah I think the key message is that playing 43s on the button behind a bunch of limpers is less dangerous and more justifiable than playing ATo under-the-gun in a full game.

i agree. UTG ATo is a muck in most every game i'm in.

Scarmiglio,
It's just a personal thing I guess. I just don't play those real low ones because they have absolutely no high hand value and I hate making the flush and either losing to someone who played K5s or hitting on the turn and then having the 4th suited hit the riv and losing to a big card of that suit.
Now give me 8Ts or 78s after two limpers in LP and I'm in the hand.

[Scarmiglio]

Sometimes someone may have a bigger flush, but sometimes someone makes a bigger flush when you have QJs too. Played well, these hand are money makers in position.

I believe SSHE recommends playing ATo in EP (including UTG) in a loose game, which is what I've been doing (2/4 B&M). Consensus is now to muck it in EP or just UTG?
