ATo UTG

[Keats13]

MP3 is very loose both pre- and post-flop. MP2 is new to the table, no read yet.

Hopefully the play isn't terribly automatic, because I was unsure about some of these decisions...

this is a bad preflop raise. I like the rest though.

Bad preflop raise. Typically I don't raise anything UTG unless its AQ SUITED or higher. Rest of it was well played, nice raise on the turn since he was probably raising on the flop with QK or flush draw.

you should probably not raise this pf. folding is usually much better

Okay, apparently the PFR is not very popular. Good to know.

ATo is definitely the bottom of the barrel for UTG raising for me, and it's not a default play. However, I think setting the bar at AQs is a bit high. I'm definitely popping AQo, AJs, also on many tables AJo and ATs.

Somebody please feel free to slap some sense into me if I'm being overly LAGish.
