Sorry for asking such a simple question but i am trying to plug some holes at the moment. Usually i raise 3x and then 3x +1 per limper. As you can see, i am in early mid posn on a 6 handed table. I sometimes fold this and sometimes raise to 32p but UTG i probably muck this a high % of the time. Whats the general consensus on opening ranges from this position?

Edited info, 2 oppo's still to act had £4.50 and £7.50.

    I would be raising 3x still don't really credit UTG limps with anything with no notes

    don't really think isoing utg limper with A10 in MP is a good idea at 8nl, often it'll end up going 3/4/5 way to the flop.

    it would be nice to know what the 2 people left out of the hand shown so far have in their stacks also

    Just make it 32p and go from there, A10 is a decent hand and most times he has SC's and you get him calling pre with the worse hand OOP.

    NL8 is loose so usually might get one call from blinds and call from limper but you're still IP.

    This was my question i suppose. Do i want to be throwing 4xbb in to a pot with players still left to act with what i think is a marginal hand? If i make it 3xbb then i think everyone pretty much comes for a ride and if i hit my ace, i still aint gonna be too happy if there is a bit of action on the flop. Is it uncomprehendable to fold?

    These kind of spots really confuse me. I still aint sure what to do. Strangely, if its A,J, i have no probs making it 4x here!!!!!

    Jeez I know it's micro stakes play tight etc but if you're folding here somethings clearly wrong with your game lol

    Also my main point was if you raise make it 3x+1, super basic maths.

    in MP facing a limper thats decently stacked you can isolate with your entire MP range, folding here isn't as bad as someone above made out.

    raise size is table depedant, if you sat with some stations to your left and in the blinds you'll need to 5x it to stand a decent chance of getting HU to the flop.
