Nowhere else you will get so much action.

Thanks, I know that JTo is to fold UTG. But I like to vary my play. And I think against this opponents it was a good try with a large suited connector.

[Catt]

You have an unsuited connector (I won't argue whether it is "large" or not) JTo. What are the table conditions that you thought this varied play made sense?

Varying your play is a good idea -- but generally not with poor hands UTG. Save it for better circumstances.

So do you occasionally play T5o UTG to vary your play? It's a great hand because it can make two straights and two flushes.

LOL, ok sorry I wanted to say large connector. You are of course all right, if you say that is normally right to fold preflop. But it is very easy to play against stupid opponents (easy to fold and easy to raise postflop).

[IPSC]

I'd fold this preflop everytime except in CO.

Seriously. Fold this one not only UTG, but after it got capped and you only limped in. This is a terrible call.
