FR UTG and pre flop ???

[Icanhastreebet]

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.

I'd rather tell beginners to open T9s than 22-66 UTG, but I'd probably just tell them to fold both until they don't suck horribly postflop.

i remember you telling me that you liked to open KJs etc from utg ages ago on irc, i think when you were in thailand. I remember you saying you had talked to renton about it etc. Yaawn asked why anyone thinks this is a good idea, you're good at explaining your thoughts re poker - hence my comment. Sufficient clarification?
