Holdem is simply about players and position. All experienced Texas Hold’em players agree that seating in no cutoff Texas Hold’em is critically essential. Playing your hole cards in last spot will be much more beneficial than in early poker position. This is due to the fact that much more data is collected prior to acting.
i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local casino. I came in with 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, so I could partake in some action. Flop arrived A-A-4. A person in early position laid a $15 bet. 2 entrants drop out and it was now my turn to act. I should have folded, but his game play seemed a little odd. I read this guy as a weak-tight player, and regularly if he held the biggest hand he would only check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My challenger made another wager of $20. I deliberated for a while, but made a decision to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the chips.
Sitting at last spot provides you an idea where you are positioned by observing how other players behave and wager. On the other hand, players at early position may use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned aggressors and corner them later at the end. In Holdem, both ends, late and early must be wagered carefully.
