The Importance of Poker Position
Holdem is all about people and position. All knowledgeable Texas Holdem players concur that arrangement in no limit Texas Holdem is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last spot can be certainly more profitable than in early poker spot. This is seeing that much more info is collected before acting.
e.g., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money match at a local spot. I came in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, just to see a little excitement. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in starting position made a $15 wager. Two individuals drop out and it was my turn. I should have dropped out, but something appear to be a tiny bit odd. I read this person as a weak-tight person, and typically if he held the best hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor laid a further wager of $20. I debated a bit, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I take the cash.
Wagering at late spot allows you an idea where you sit by seeing how other enthusiasts carry oneself and bet. On the other hand, people at starting position might use their poker spot to check-raise the last seated aggressors and corner them later at the end. In Holdem, each spots, last and starting must be bet carefully.
