I agree that UTG is the worst position, both before and after the flop. Some additional reasons:
1. Acting first or last both have advantages post-flop, and UTG rarely is either. He's always in the middle.
2. If I get good cards UTG and raise - the raise either gets way too much respect (ie steals blinds) or none at all (5 callers). The later I get to act pre-flop, the better chance I have of getting the number of callers I want.
3. Raising with a mediocre hand (say KQ) seems very likely to end up with me being isolated by Ax.
As a result I play squeaky tight from UTG. It is a money maker for me (as is BB).
