Texas Holdem is just about gamblers and seating. All experienced Texas Hold’em players concur that position in no cutoff Hold’em is critically important. Playing your hole cards in last position can be a whole lot more profitable than in starting poker position. This is due to the fact that much more info is gathered before acting.

i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local casino. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, just to partake in some action. Flop came down A-A-4. A person in starting position made a $15 bet. Two players fold and it was now my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but something appear to be a bit off. I identified this person as a weak-tight player, and typically if he had the biggest hand he would simply check, so I called.

The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor made another bet of $20. I debated for a while, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars over and above his $20. He folds and I won the money.

Playing last position provides you an insight into where you sit by studying how gamblers behave and wager. On the flip side, gamblers at early position might use their poker spot to check-raise the late positioned antagonists and trap them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both ends, late and early must be played carefully.
