one thing i don't really understand about UTG is why so much stigma is attached to it. after all, the position is only first to act PF. that's a small handicap but not a -huge- handicap, right?

once you get into the board, the blinds are the ones with terrible position and UTG in 6-handed or less tables doesn't seem that terrible to me.

but like i say, i'm not sure i understand this well...
