Texas Hold’em is simply about people and position. All experienced Texas Holdem enthusiasts concur that position in no cap Hold’em is critically significant. Playing your hole cards in last position can be a whole lot more profitable than in early poker spot. This is because much more information is gathered right before acting.

i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local spot. I bumbled in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, so I could partake in a bit of excitement. Flop arrived A-A-4. A bettor in starting position made a fifteen dollar bet. 2 entrants drop out and it was my turn. I really should have folded, but his play seemed a tiny bit off. I labeled this player as a weak-tight player, and typically if he had the strongest hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn showed with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My opposer placed an additional bet of $20. I deliberated for a while, but took a chance to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his $20. He dropped out and I take the money.

Sitting at late position gives you an idea where you stand by watching how other players react and bet. On the other hand, players at starting spot might use their poker position to check-raise the last seated aggressors and corner them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both ends, late and starting should be wagered cautiously.
