If I were to coach a complete beginner(at 2/4/5nl) I would probably start them off with AJs+,AQo,22+, basically mring the small PPs and teaching them why. At like 100NL I think a better UTG range would be like AQs+/AKo,77+,T9s,98s,87s basically because mid suited broadways are always dominated when we get to postflop and middling SCs still play really good(way better then small PPs) since we flop something decent like 25% of the time. Also I'd stay away from the T9s type shit UTG at micros UNLESS flop was going 4way+ a lot when we mr'd because you are going to be in tonnes of horrible reverse implied odds situations.
If anyone disagrees with my 100NL std range I'd love to know why. Basically it avoids tough spots while still adding value to our UTG range. I used to be in the QJs+,AQo+,AJs+,66+ camp but I think that's doing poorer then the range I previously stated.
