Hold’em is all about people and position. All knowledgeable Holdem players agree that position in no restriction Texas Hold’em is fundamentally important. Playing your hole cards in last position could be much more profitable than in early poker spot. The reason because a lot more information is assembled before acting.
i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local spot. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, so I could see some action. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in starting position placed a $15 bet. 2 individuals drop out and it was now my turn. I really should have dropped out, but his game play felt a little off. I labeled this guy as a weak-tight guy, and usually if he had the number one hand he would just check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent made another wager of $20. I debated a little bit, but took a chance to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I take the money.
Playing last spot provides you an idea where you sit by studying how other players carry oneself and bet. On the flip side, people at early position might use their poker position to check-raise the last seated competitors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Holdem, both ends, late and early must be bet cautiously.
