Holdem is all about players and position. All knowledgeable Texas Hold’em players agree that position in no boundary Texas Hold’em is critically important. Playing your hole cards in last spot could be certainly more profitable than in early poker position. The reason seeing that much more info is collected prior to acting.

e.g., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money round at a local casino. I came in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer button, so I could see some action. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in early spot made a $15 wager. 2 players fold and it was my turn to act. I should have dropped out, but something felt a little odd. I ID’d this contender as a weak-tight individual, and usually if he held the best hand he would just check, so I called.

The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opposer placed an additional bet of $20. I debated a tiny bit, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He folds and I take the money.

Betting at last position gives you an idea where you are positioned by studying how other players react and bet. On the flip side, gamblers at early spot might use their poker position to check-raise the last seated antagonists and trap them afterwords at the end. In Texas Holdem, each ends, last and starting should be played carefully.
