    The biggest differences I see from old range UTG, is you have removed my mid suited connectors JTs, T9s, 98s, and added in AJs, ATs, and KJs. I already told you why I added them and have no issue dropping them. You added AJs, ATs, and KJs for their top pair value. I took them out years ago, because I was unable to slow down when dominated. But I have learned some restraint with lower kickers and gladly will put them back where they belong for now.

    Those SC's are real trouble when you're OOP. You can't ever feel good with a pair, since opponents' ranges will always include hands that dominate your pairs. You're really looking to stack off with a straight or flush, but playing drawing hands OOP is no good.

    If you're already comfortable with your old range, then it should only take a session or two for you to feel the difference in your old range and my suggestion. I look forward to hearing you critique the strengths and weaknesses of the switch!
