The Importance of Poker Position
Texas Holdem is all about players and arrangement. All rounded Texas Holdem players concur that seating in no cutoff Hold’em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last position could be a whole lot more profitable than in early poker position. The reason because a whole lot more information is collected before acting.
e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash game at a local poker room. I bumbled in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to partake in some excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. An individual in early spot laid a $15 wager. Two individuals fold and it was my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but his betting seemed a little odd. I ID’d this person as a weak-tight guy, and usually if he held the biggest hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My opponent placed an additional wager of $20. I hesitated a bit, but took a chance to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I won the cash.
Sitting at late spot allows you an insight into where you stand by observing how entrants behave and bet. On the flip side, individuals at early spot may use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned competitors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Hold’em, each spots, last and early must be bet carefully.
