I googled "opening hand ranges full ring" yesterday. I found a .pdf with two charts, one "semi-loose starting hand chart" and one "tight starting hand chart".
Even the semi-loose chart suggest open raising UTG with every single PP, all the way down from pocket deuces and up. I know you want to raise them because you can flop sets and such, and I always open raise them when I'm IP, but in my experience I have to fold them way too much postflop when i raise with 44 UTG and get called by 2 players. You have a positional disadvantage and it's hard to play them postflop when you have 2 callers behind.
Is the value of flopping sets simply so great that it outweighs all the downsides of playing PPs in all positions, or what is the reason for this?
