Hold’em is simply about players and seating. All knowledgeable Texas Holdem enthusiasts agree that position in no boundary Texas Holdem is fundamentally important. Playing your hole cards in late spot can be much more profitable than in early poker position. This is due to the fact that much more data is collected right before acting.
e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash match at a local spot. I limped in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, so I could see a little excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in early spot laid a $15 bet. Two entrants fold and it was my turn to act. I should have folded, but his game play seemed a little odd. I read this person as a weak-tight person, and typically if he held the strongest hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent laid an additional wager of $20. I deliberated a bit, but made a decision to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I won the money.
Sitting at late spot offers you an idea where you stand by observing how gamblers behave and wager. On the flip side, people at starting position may use their poker position to check-raise the late seated aggressors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold’em, each spots, last and early must be wagered carefully.
