[ x ] Shania always being important
[ ] Shania having anything to do with whether or not you should open AQo UTG at 5nl

first off, we're talking about the mega micros where A) even the regs are still too early in their development for it to be common for them to adjust their play based on how wide your UTG opening range is and B) you seldom play enough hands against any individual opponents for you to have an EP PFR number that's very representative

second off, and much more importantly, if you're concerned that your range is exploitably tight UTG, then AQo should be very very very far from the top of the list of candidates for hands to open up to. things like 87s are much better candidates.

all that being said, i generally open AQo UTG, but i think that using shania as an excuse for doing it is bad/dangerous line of thought. if it's minus EV to open AQo UTG, then you shouldn't play it because it's not gonna do shit for improving the EV of your entire range
