Open Raise UTG (Poll)

[krishanleong]

Do you raise these UTG at a default table?

[Wynton]

Hate to complicate things (ok, not really "hate"), but are you asking about utg raises? Do limits matter or should we just assume table of unknowns?

edit: you just sneakily went back and answered

For me, the hardest ones were Q10s (I voted raise) and 109s (I voted fold).

Why are either of these significantly hard than JTs?

... and why are people raising JTs and folding QTs?

Because they think JTs is less likely to be dominated if called, and it makes more straights? I don't think that reasoning is correct, but I could see how some people would reason that.

QTs - raise
JTs - raise
T9s - fold
QJo - fold
KTo - fold
A9o - fold
ATs - raise
A8s - raise
A7s - fold
66 - raise
55 - fold
77 - raise
44 - fold
KJo - raise
27o - I would rather shania raise one of the hands listed, like T9s or 55.

Holy Enigma, Batman, I can't believe that me, chairman of the weak/tight club, is raising more hands than many people, specifically K10o and QJo.

[DMBFan23]

I try to play tight in front but loosen WAY up in the Button and to a lesser extent the CO. I still have some questions about the BB though.

I think that raising offsuit broadways from early position is profitable at many tables. For offsuit aces, any sidecard that puts you in the top 50% of kickers is also profitable at these same tables.
