Re: AJo
90% of "bad beat" stories I hear from my player start off with:
"I was UTG with AJ right....."
It's actually a running joke within our office!
Depending on table dynamics I generally won't play this from early to mid positions and will generally just open with it and fold in other spots.

It's a steal really isn't it? Stealing is good right? Originally Posted by Ice Bird

Re: AJo
Depends on stack size. I'm assuming you're talking about 9max? Originally Posted by Ice Bird

You don't want to be raisefolding AJ UTG with less than ~20bb most of the time. A lot depends on the type of table you're at. FWIW I would usually fold if there are no antes or raise if there are antes, depending on stack sizes and a lot of other variables.
If you could define the question a bit more specifically you would get better answers
Also, UTG is the new button obviously
