Good, but not great hands UTG

How do you play these? I'm talking about stuff like AJ AT KJ KQ QJ I usually lead out with a small raise to get the weaker hands out of the pot, but I most likely end OOP post-flop.

I'm talking about ring games mostly. Any suggestions?

I generally fold all of those if the tables even half-way decent. I'll occasionally play AJs from UTG but its the exception rather than the rule.

FR or 6max? FR I insta-fold.

At lower levels zach, say 50nl, did you profitable open a,j, at least, from UTG?

6-max I open like, stuff. It helps if its suited. But in all seriousness, folding QJo UTG ain't a bad play, even for 6-max.

It's all about position, I will play those hands quite aggressively even from middle position, especially if they are suited. From early position, its more about how you feel about it at the time. But shyt, you cant wait for AA or KK every hand, get out there and hit em hard!

Thanks for the info guys. This has been something i have been having trouble with also, specifically from UTG and UTG+1. Also what happens when you miss the flop and are first to act with 1-3 other players. Do you throw out a c-bet and try to take the pot down?

This depends so much on the flop texture and the number of players.
