I think 10% of hands UTG is a great place to be – even in loose fields it’s just plain HARD to make worse hands profitable in the long run from UTG. Over the years, my ego caused me to routinely open wider than I should have from UTG but I am combating that in my wise old age by re-examining my preflop ranges and trying to devise new ranges that are profitable VS MY PLAYER POOLS and not vs some optimally-programmed super-computer that I will never play against anyway. The ranges I built a decade ago are simply too clever by half and I am leaving money on the table by preemptively counter-exploiting strategies that my foes are honestly not even employing. The only person I’m outsmarting is myself! So I’m looking forward to revisiting my “spots and candidates” approach to continuing-range building sometime soon, but it all starts with RFI! @Binkley when it folds around to your SB, do you have a mixed opening limp/raise strategy or always one or the other (unless folding obv)?
