Hold’em is just about gamblers and position. All experienced Holdem players agree that position in no cap Holdem is critically essential. Showing your hole cards in last spot can be much more beneficial than in starting poker spot. This is because a lot more information is gathered right before acting.
e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit money game at a local spot. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to partake in a little excitement. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in early spot laid a $15 bet. Two entrants fold and it was my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but his game play appear to be a bit odd. I ID’d this guy as a weak-tight bettor, and usually if he had the number one hand he would only check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent made another wager of $20. I hesitated a little bit, but decided to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars over and above his $20. He folds and I won the pot.
Gambling at late spot offers you an insight into where you stand by observing how other players behave and bet. On the flip side, enthusiasts at starting position may use their poker position to check-raise the late positioned antagonists and trap them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both spots, last and early should be wagered carefully.
