Raising the pot with a/j UTG is not a good play at the 1/2 level IMO.
Once you miss the flop I like a check/fold. |

Raise preflop everytime. Flop play is fine. Fold the turn you don't have odds to continue. Next hand. |

Depending on the table, I fold AJo UTG. I just hate playing this hand oop. I could never imagine just calling with it though. That's definitely a bad play. I don't think it's a "raise every time" hand UTG just because it's a potential trouble maker in this position. I raise it about half the time and hope for the best.

As you play more hands you learn when and why certain hands should be raised. Personally through playing in tighter and more aggro games then those described in SSHE I have changed my preflop play that my ranges no longer mirror, although still similar, the recommendations in the book. If played a decent number of hands from 1/2 to 20/40 on party in the last year and have yet to find a table that I thought it correct to do anything but raise AJo UTG. |

I raise preflop with this UTG 100% of the time, and the hand plays completely different.

OH BOY ANOTHER AJo UTG RAISE/CALL DEBATE! YEAH!!!!!!
This hand is completely boring and it gets posted 5 times every week Fold preflop/flop/turn/river. Call preflop/flop/turn/river Raise preflop/flop/turn/river Circle whichever action you want for any street, you will probably never get two seperate people to agree on it. |

Use the filter in PT: Select the hand Positions Off the Button Between 6 AND 7 -- or choose Exactly 7 for UG only Bind Status Not a blind (if the game is shorthanded 6 or 7 OTB can put you in one of the blinds) Pre-flop Raise Raised first in I am +EV for for both suited and unsuited. More so for suited though. Granted, I only have 8 hands that meet this criteria in this particular data base which has 9K of my hands. |
