Scenario | Game: No-Limit Hold'em | Format: Cash Game | Blinds: 1/2 | Effective Stacks: 100 bb | Hero Position: Under the Gun (UTG). Hero holds 7♥ 7♠ (77). Why is this hand considered a 'marginal' open from UTG compared to A♥ Q♥ (AQs)?
- 77 has low 'Equity Realization' because it often checks/folds on high boards.
- 77 has lower raw equity against a random hand.
- 77 is dominated by all overpairs.
- UTG ranges should only contain suited broadways. (under this line) (under this line)
