hiya m8 i still don't fully understand what UTG is all i know is its under the gun but as to what it means on the table i've no idea as for calling with 4c7c pre flop everyone has favourite hands and so far i've noticed a lot of people will raise 5x BB on 1st hand of a tourney with an A or pair 47 has been lucky for me in the past at starts b4 so i called am still learning every day m8

Under The Gun.
An explanation has been made by others, but let's enlarge it a little, because it relates to "POSITION", which is, arguably, THE most important skill in poker. If you don't understand POSITION, you will be a losing player - always.
UTG is the WORST position from which to play a hand, especially if there has been pre-flop betting action & the Blinds have not taken up their option to Call.
So we never play marginals from that position. 4-4, A-9, QJ, these are all hands we insta-muck UTG, but, if there is no significant action, we would raise with in the Cut-Off (one seat before the Button) or Button.
It's also sheer lunacy to try & steal from UTG.
Threse comments are more elevant to a 10 seater than a 6 seater, but nevertheless, it applies to all poker, Live & Online, right across the world. It will never be different.
It can be used as Reverse Position though. If there is an Aggro player in late position, serial-raising, we can limp UTG with monsters, await the inevitable Raise, then go over the top. however, if no Raise mateialises, & we now find ourselves in a Family Pot with a Monster, so we are usually done with the hand, but VERY FEW Players are good enough to get off hands like A-A. . (A-A v, say, 6 Random Hands is rarely more than a 30% favouritr to win - or, put another way, the A-A is 70% likely to lose).
