Re: Is there any reason to open limp UTG?

Nor would I, however depending on the game, they are sometimes playable.

That's why I qualified my statement by saying I wouldn't play them "very often." Sure it's correct at times, depending on the game, I just think that it's more often not correct.

Hrm. Not so much in my experience. I just checked SSHE for kicks and in the preflop play section it mentions avoiding small pairs from EP in a typical game, food for thought.

I thought I remembered one of the lists in there saying pocket pairs were ok from EP ... the loose game list maybe? I'll have to go back and check. At any rate, it depends (again) on the game. In the low limit games I've played (.50/1, 2/4, and casino 3/6) I feel perfectly comfortable limping a low pocket pair from EP *most* of the time. Now that I'm playing 3/6 online, I see a need to tighten up a little in this respect, but relatively speaking, in a situation where it's not correct to limp EP with a low PP, I'm pretty sure it's even less correct to limp with QT for instance, which was really my point.
