Texas Hold’em is all about individuals and seating. All knowledgeable Texas Holdem players agree that position in no limit Hold’em is critically important. Playing your hole cards in late spot can be certainly more profitable than in starting poker position. The reason seeing that a whole lot more info is collected right before acting.
As an example, I was playing a $1-$2 no limit cash match at a local poker room. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to see a bit of fun. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in starting spot made a fifteen dollar bet. 2 entrants drop out and it was my turn to act. I really should have folded, but something seemed a little off. I identified this contender as a weak-tight guy, and regularly if he had the number one hand he would just check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My opposer made an additional bet of $20. I debated for a while, but made a decision to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I take the money.
Playing last spot gives you an insight into where you stand by watching how other players react and wager. On the other hand, people at starting spot could use their poker spot to check-raise the late seated aggressors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Holdem, both spots, last and starting should be played carefully.
