The value of Poker Seating

Texas Hold’em is all about players and seating. All experienced Texas Hold’em players agree that seating in no limit Texas Hold’em is critically important. Playing your hole cards in last position can be a great deal more beneficial than in starting poker position. This is due to the fact that a whole lot more data is assembled right before acting.

i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash match at a local casino. I came in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, so I could see a bit of excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in early position placed a fifteen dollar wager. Two players fold and it was my turn to act. I really should have folded, but something felt a bit off. I labeled this contender as a weak-tight bettor, and regularly if he had the number one hand he would simply check, so I called.

The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor placed an additional wager of $20. I hesitated for a while, but took a chance to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I take the cash.

Betting at last position gives you an idea where you sit by seeing how entrants react and bet. On the flip side, enthusiasts at early position can use their poker position to check-raise the late seated antagonists and corner them later at the end. In Holdem, each ends, late and early must be bet cautiously.
