Texas Holdem is all about players and arrangement. All experienced Hold’em players concur that arrangement in no cutoff Texas Holdem is fundamentally important. Playing your hole cards in last spot might be certainly more profitable than in starting poker position. The reason because much more information is amassed before acting.
e.g., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit cash game at a local spot. I came in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, so I could see some excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in starting spot laid a $15 bet. 2 players fold and it was my turn. I really should have dropped out, but something felt a tiny bit odd. I ID’d this player as a weak-tight guy, and typically if he held the number one hand he would only check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My challenger placed another wager of $20. I hesitated for a while, but made a decision to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his $20. He folds and I won the chips.
Gambling at late position gives you an insight into where you stand by observing how other players behave and wager. On the other hand, people at early spot can use their poker position to check-raise the late seated aggressors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold’em, both spots, late and early must be wagered cautiously.
