Under the Gun Raises

In three out of the first six hands, the player from first position, otherwise known as "under the gun," opened up for a raise. That's somewhat unusual since no limit hold'em is a game of position. In these three situations, the under-the-gun raiser won the pot twice.

Are the players getting monster hands in early position or are they shifting gears and playing aggressively? It's hard to tell without seeing the hole cards. But we'll keep an eye on any future UTG raises.
