Hold’em is simply about people and position. All rounded Texas Holdem players agree that position in no limit Hold’em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last position could be much more profitable than in starting poker position. The reason seeing that much more info is gathered right before acting.

For example, I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local casino. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, so I could partake in some excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A player in starting spot placed a fifteen dollar bet. Two entrants fold and it was now my turn to act. I should have folded, but his play seemed a little odd. I identified this person as a weak-tight player, and normally if he held the best hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn arrived with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opposer placed an additional bet of $20. I debated a little bit, but decided to re-raise another $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the pot.

Wagering at last position gives you an insight into where you are positioned by watching how entrants react and wager. On the other hand, people at starting spot can use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned competitors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Texas Holdem, both ends, late and starting must be played cautiously.
