Position utg is overrated

[matecocido20]

I have played more than 100,000 hands in tournaments and whenever I see aggressive players in action, most of them play from this position opening 2 to 2.5 blinds from this position, putting pressure on all rivals who have the possibility of re-stealing these crazy moves from utg with medium ranges or types of A2s, A5s, A7s, etc. They end up winning a hand out of position from the passive ones.

why are opening range of A2s, A5s, A7s, etc. crazy if you are deep ?

If they open that range of hands when they catch A they won't be able to leave the table anymore and lose a lot of chips to the older kicker, they just don't know how to play from that position yet, it's too bad don't do that

I think that it lost something in translation and he is saying that the UTG bettors are holding those cards. I could be wrong though.
