The value of Poker Position
Hold'em is all about gamblers and position. All knowledgeable Texas Hold'em enthusiasts concur that seating in no boundary Hold'em is fundamentally important. Playing your hole cards in late spot might be a great deal more beneficial than in early poker spot. The reason seeing that much more data is assembled prior to acting.
i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money match at a local spot. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to see a bit of action. Flop came down A-A-4. A gambler in starting position placed a fifteen dollar bet. Two entrants drop out and it was now my turn to act. I should have folded, but something felt a little odd. I ID'd this person as a weak-tight guy, and regularly if he had the number one hand he would just check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My opponent placed an additional bet of $20. I hesitated for a while, but took a chance to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his $20. He dropped out and I won the pot.
Betting at last spot offers you an idea where you are positioned by watching how other players react and wager. On the other hand, individuals at early position might use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned competitors and corner them later at the end. In Texas Hold'em, both ends, last and early must be played carefully.
