The value of Poker Position

Hold’em is simply about players and seating. All knowledgeable Texas Holdem enthusiasts agree that arrangement in no cap Holdem is critically important. Showing your hole cards in late position may be much more beneficial than in starting poker position. The reason because much more information is assembled right before acting.

e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local poker room. I came in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, just to see some excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in early spot made a $15 wager. 2 players drop out and it was my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but something seemed a bit odd. I read this player as a weak-tight individual, and normally if he had the biggest hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor placed another wager of $20. I hesitated for a while, but decided to re-raise another $30thirty dollars on top of his $20. He dropped out and I won the money.

Sitting at late spot offers you an insight into where you are positioned by observing how other individuals react and bet. On the other hand, individuals at early position can use their poker position to check-raise the last seated aggressors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Holdem, both spots, late and early must be wagered carefully.
