preflop hand selection mp

[MrMonkey]

If the game is really loose and passive I would obviously limp ATs utg, but what about when it's a little tighter, e.g. probably only 1-2 more players on avg will enter the pot behind me if I limp utg. Would you still open limp ATs? Would you open-raise it or fold it?

I hate open-limping any hand cause I feel like people will play at that sometimes but I also hate raising KQo/s or ATs in early position or early MP.

Also I'm sure these sorts of questions have been discussed here lots of times before, does anybody know of any good past threads about this?

its commonly regarded that ATs is a playable hand from UTG in good games. some like to open with it and some like to limp. in games where it is unlikely that i will be 3bet isolated i will raise it. however, i am a little sloppy with full ring play as ive been playing strictly shorthanded games for the past few months and have only recently begun actively participating in mid-high stakes as i plan to start playing full ring games again.
