What is the meaning of "UTG" in poker and how does it impact a player's strategy when seated in that position?

"UTG" stands for "Under the Gun" in Poker, referring to the player seated directly to the left of the big blind. Being in the UTG position requires caution as it is the first to act after the blinds, meaning they have the least amount of information about other players' hands. Players in this position typically play tighter and more selectively, as they are at a disadvantage in terms of position and information.
