Hold’em is all about individuals and seating. All experienced Holdem enthusiasts agree that position in no limit Hold’em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last position might be a great deal more profitable than in starting poker position. This is because much more data is collected before acting.
i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local spot. I limped in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, so I could see some fun. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in early position laid a $15 bet. Two players drop out and it was now my turn. I really should have folded, but his game play seemed a tiny bit odd. I ID’d this person as a weak-tight bettor, and normally if he had the best hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My opponent laid an additional bet of $20. I deliberated a tiny bit, but took a chance to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his $20. He dropped out and I won the money.
Betting at last spot provides you an insight into where you stand by watching how other players carry oneself and wager. On the other hand, gamblers at early position can use their poker position to check-raise the late seated aggressors and trap them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both ends, late and starting must be wagered carefully.
