Hold’em is all about individuals and seating. All knowledgeable Texas Hold’em enthusiasts agree that position in no restriction Texas Hold’em is fundamentally important. Playing your hole cards in last spot might be a whole lot more beneficial than in starting poker position. This is seeing that a lot more information is gathered prior to acting.
e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash game at a local spot. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier marker, just to see a little action. Flop arrived A-A-4. A bettor in early spot laid a $15 bet. 2 players fold and it was now my turn. I really should have folded, but something seemed a little odd. I ID’d this guy as a weak-tight bettor, and normally if he held the best hand he would just check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor laid a further wager of $20. I hesitated a tiny bit, but took a chance to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the chips.
Playing last spot gives you an insight into where you are positioned by seeing how players react and bet. On the other hand, individuals at early spot may use their poker spot to check-raise the late seated aggressors and corner them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both spots, late and early should be bet carefully.
