I played with a guy the other day who seemed to prefer UTG1 as prime positional spot.
MTT 9 handed.
UTG1 - 8/12 times he raised 3 x BB.
UTG2 - 7/12 times he raised 3 x BB.
From any other position, unless he could reraise (rarely)even to a limp, he would fold.
If there were no limpers or raisers in any position before him, 3 x BB.
His style of play was almost robotic, he just had to be the first to bet after the flop.
On the flop (every time) he would put enormous pressure on any that had called him, and continue to bet to the river.
The first 4 times he was called all the way to the river with his inevitable - put the guy allin river bet, he had proper hands and had connected big time(ironic isn't it).
He became very dangerous with a big stack, because if you took him on, you just knew he would put you allin on the river.
Luckily for me, first I hit pocket Aces, and let him hang himself with his 82o. Then I hit pocket Queens, connected trips, and let him hang himself with his A2o (bless him an Ace did come on the flop). Once other guys saw his hole cards, he came crashing down very quickly.
I think some of these guys watch too much poker on television, they get the wrong impression and believe that some of the pros bluff every hand!
