UTG (UNDER THE GUN)

UTG, or Under the Gun, is the player seated directly to the left of the big blind 💸 and is the first to act preflop. It’s one of the worst positions at the table, as you have eight 💸 other players left to act behind you. This means you should play conservatively, as the chances are high that someone 💸 acting after you has a strong hand.

UTG +1

This is the position directly to the left of the UTG player and 💸 is the second to act preflop. This position plays similarly to UTG, as these are the two earliest positions you 💸 can get at the poker table. You can play a couple more hands from UTG+1, but you still need to 💸 play tight.
