I just saw a 2+2 stat (27/18) raise 9Ts UTG. Is this standard for anyone and why?

Probably standard for break even/marginal winner who experiences frequent 300BB downswings.

we've had two solid winners say that they raise it UTG and you still make this statement.


PS I raise it UTG as well at most tables and have been winning with it.

edit: ok so i looked through 60K hands and i only found 1 instance where i raised it UTG 6 handed. but thats because i usually play 3-4 handed.

60K of 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10, I raised it UTG or MP 36 times. It's just not a situation that will come up often enough. It's a .18bb/hand winner for me, but the sample size is so ridiculously small that there's nothing to really say about whether or not it's been a good raise.

60k is so stupid to post, I bet you have hands like A8o that are losing after 60k hands, let alone a single UTG, T9s unless under very unique situations IS A LOSER.

It's not a unique situation to be a shitty player postflop, there are about 95% of players in similar situations. You think counseling is an option?

Do you have some evidence for this, or are you just dogmatically stating it because that's fun? I think raising this 100% is a losing play. I have no qualms about that. I think raising it occasionally is more +EV than folding it every time. That's all I was saying.

Hahaha 9Ts utg, keep kidding yourself guys, increased variance sure can make you look like big winners.

I mean, it's probably part of the reason he's at 27 instead of like 24 (I personally would rather add more hands in position, then from the blinds, then from early pos.) but I think T9s is a fine hand, I've probably raised it UTG a fair amount.

EDIT: over 30K of 5/10 and 10/20, I've gotten it 8 times UTG 6 handed, and have raised twice.
