You are missing out on profitable hands and probably blind steals, late position raises and blind defence aswell.

The att to steal and folded to steal numbers, I assume, show that I am not defending my blinds nearly enough. Any advice about where those numbers should be?

I have some cold calling from pos. 5 and 6, need to get rid of those....

Time for HEFAP?

If you REALLY raise these hands from UTG, then just what are you limping, because you are limping half the time.

Not good for most of these hands. Hence, I've started folding them unless the table texture is such I expect most pots to go 5+ way. Also, I open raise QJs, 88,77 and sometimes 66 when the table is kinda aggro.

I will say though, that when there are early limpers, there tends to be a lot more limping behind, and a general reluctance to raise behind except with the strongest of hands. I guess I would have to try this UTG limp-style before I could really comment much further on it.
