I don't know if it happens to someone else, but it happens way to mutch with me. My premium cards come only when i'm on the UTG or in the best case UTG+1. Sometimes i limp, sometimes i raise, if theres some loose players i go all in. What do you think is the best move in this initial positions with premium hands?

I particularly like to trap these positions more it varies greatly with who is at the table and play as the villains

Strongly depends on the amount of BBs you have left. Like vita said you can limp to trap other players, but to do so you need to have decent post-flop play apart from playing stakes high enough where people do not limp their way into 5 or 6 way pots.

Never limp premium when you're on the UTG. Push or fold only if you have <12 BB.
In other cases you should play open raise. If you are raised by another player, you go allin with AK, QQ+

Raise for value.
Shove if you're short stacked.
Or, if you're like me, jam 20+BBs with JJ+, AK.

Pay you get at least 1 caller.

If everyone folds, you at least pick up the antes (if any) and you get to see your blinds for free.

Are you saying that you can to fold a premium hand when less than 12bb on the UTG?
Why?

The type of structure you're playing really makes a difference with how you have to play premium hands, too. Think to yourself before you commit to a play, what's my goal with this move?"
