Texas Hold’em is all about people and position. All knowledgeable Holdem players agree that position in no cutoff Texas Hold’em is critically significant. Showing your hole cards in last position can be a great deal more beneficial than in early poker position. This is due to the fact that much more information is gathered right before acting.

For example, I played in a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local casino. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier marker, so I could see some fun. Flop arrived A-A-4. A bettor in starting spot made a $15 bet. Two individuals drop out and it was now my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but his betting appear to be a bit odd. I identified this person as a weak-tight player, and normally if he had the biggest hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opposer laid another bet of $20. I hesitated a bit, but took a chance to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He folds and I take the chips.

Wagering at late position gives you an idea where you are positioned by observing how other entrants react and wager. On the flip side, individuals at early position might use their poker position to check-raise the late seated aggressors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Texas Holdem, each ends, last and starting must be played cautiously.
