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.
