Texas Holdem is all about gamblers and seating. All experienced Texas Hold’em enthusiasts agree that position in no limit Hold’em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last position may be certainly more beneficial than in early poker position. The reason because much more data is amassed prior to acting.
i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash game at a local poker room. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, just to see some action. Flop came down A-A-4. A gambler in starting spot placed a $15 bet. 2 entrants drop out and it was my turn to act. I really should have folded, but something seemed a bit odd. I ID’d this contender as a weak-tight person, and usually if he had the best hand he would only check, so I called.
The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor laid a further bet of $20. I hesitated a little bit, but took a chance to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his $20. He folds and I take the pot.
Playing late spot gives you an insight into where you stand by watching how enthusiasts behave and bet. On the flip side, gamblers at early position can use their poker spot to check-raise the late seated antagonists and trap them later at the end. In Hold’em, both ends, late and starting must be bet cautiously.
