The Importance of Poker Position
Saturday, 4. November 2017
Texas Hold’em is all about gamblers and seating. All knowledgeable Texas Hold’em players concur that position in no cap Hold’em is fundamentally important. Showing your hole cards in last spot could be certainly more profitable than in early poker position. This is because a whole lot more data is collected before acting.
i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local spot. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, just to partake in a little action. Flop arrived A-A-4. A person in early position placed a $15 bet. 2 players drop out and it was my turn. I really should have dropped out, but something seemed a bit odd. I ID’d this contender as a weak-tight player, and usually if he had the number one hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My challenger made another wager of $20. I hesitated a little bit, but made a decision to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I take the pot.
Betting at late position gives you an insight into where you are positioned by seeing how gamblers behave and wager. On the flip side, individuals at early position could use their poker spot to check-raise the late seated antagonists and corner them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold’em, each ends, late and early should be played carefully.
