:Kc: :Qh:

:As: :Jd:

:Kc: :Jc:

All AT and QJ suited or not.

and 22 - TT.

I have no idea how to play these UTG to MP. I play a tight aggro game like to be the one controlling the action. Obviously I don't like playing out of position much but I also can't justify folding broadway cards with no action.
Help me.

Are we talking 6max or FR? What stakes?

6max I raise all of those in any position first in.

Raise pre-flop.
If you still have initative, bet the flop if it's heads-up or 3-way.

Continue from there.

Fold the AJ. In a live game it's probably a limp.

Fold AJo and raise with all pairs?
I can see the logic but maybe you can explain more?

In a full ring online game, my UTG range would look something like KQ+/suited Jacks/88+

In a live game, I'm limping any pair and the weaker suited broadways. Probably mix up limp vs raise on AJ/KQ offsuit depending on how I feel.

This is how I've been playing these hands. It's always nice to hear conformation.
