UTG hands

[Mike Mussina]

In a 6-handed game, are there any hands that you would limp with UTG? (Besides the possible limpraise hands like AA/KK.)

Or is it almost always raise or fold?

I limped earlier with AA/KK only. But some time ago decided to camouflage them by small amount of marginal suited hands like T9s. The others reasonable hands - i raise UTG.

Here are some borderline hands in 6-max UTG,

Would you raise, fold, or call:

66
55
A5s
JTs
QTs
KTo
A8o

Unless the game is quite passive I fold them all. Unfortunatly if it's quite passive I'm probably not playing right.

66 - Raise in tight games, fold in loose
55 - Raise in tight games, fold in loose
A5s - Normally fold
JTs - fold, possibly limp if table is loose and very passive
QTs - fold
KTo - Raise in weak-tight games, otherwise I fold unless my raises have been getting too much respect
A8o - fold

[Peter_rus]

66 - raise
55 - raise from UTG+1, fold UTG
A5s - raise from UTG+1, fold UTG
JTs - raise button, fold/limp UTG depending on game
QTs - raise CO, fold/limp UTG depending on game
KTo - raise CO, fold UTG

I haven't as yet run into a hand that I would limp with UTG. The only limping I do is on the button and less so in the CO with something like 98s and limpers in front of me.

There have been about 8 tables I've ever played on where limping UTG made sense, and I limped with JTs, QTs, 55 and 66, and mucked the rest. As far as normal games, I raise 55 and 66 maybe 5% of the time, JTs and QTs 25-50% of the time, and muck the rest all the time.

66 Raise 50% limp 25%
55 Raise 30% limp 25%
A5s Raise 5% limp 5%
JTs Raise 15% limp 15%
QTs Raise 5% limp 5%
KTo fold raise <5%
A8o limp <5% raise <5%
