Do I give UTG plays too much credit ?
The 88 in BB vs UTG min raise has me thinking.
When I am faced with a borderline or dificult decision I often take into account the position of the bettor. Late position.... add a few hands to the range I put them on, add the potential of a total bluff. I have a special consideration for UTG moves. I treat UTG min raises with respect while I laugh at most min raises. I even suspect that an UTG limp is perhaps setting a trap for a all-in raise. Am I giving them too much credit ? I know if I get AA UTG that I tend to limp and I pray for a raise. I suspect they play similarly but.... I am probably wrong. Do you guys give UTG plays more respect or am I crazy ? Before you flame me I know this is not rocket science I just feel like I might over-react a bit to UTG. There are precious few hands I play from UTG and I think that my mistake is assuming that the other players are similar. -- tjh |

Yeah you're giving them a bit too much credit. I don't pay any attention to them at all really and I don't get beat up from it.

Alot depends on your read of the player making the play UTG. I wouldnt be thinking "player x has raised UTG so he's probably got a big hand" but instead looking at the size of his stack/your stack/level etc + the read to come to some sort of educated conclusion for what to do with my 88 etc.

If I limp UTG, I probably don't have AA.
