We are not UTG. We are two seats off of the button. When I'm two seats off of the button, I need a really good reason not to open any two cards Ten and higher.

I think you guys are getting too attached to the label "UTG". UTG isn't a position, it's an indicator of the person who acts first preflop. The big blind is a position, the small blind is a position, the button is a position, and everything else is just X seats off of the button.

So I'm looking at what percentage of hands I've open-raised with this year from various positions. From the small blind backwards it's 53%, 46%, 28%, 19%, 12%. If you look at hands where it was 6 or less handed, I've only ran 21/19 with a 37% attempt to steal.

For the original hand, these stats tell me that I'm opening about 19% of hands on average so far this year over 25k hands or so. That's the equivalent of all pocket pairs, all broadways, and a few other hands.
