Holdem is just about people and position. All knowledgeable Texas Holdem players agree that seating in no cap Texas Hold'em is critically significant. Playing your hole cards in late position will be certainly more profitable than in early poker spot. This is because much more information is collected right before acting.

For example, I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local poker room. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to see a bit of fun. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in starting position made a $15 wager. Two entrants drop out and it was my turn to act. I really should have dropped out, but something appear to be a bit odd. I identified this person as a weak-tight person, and usually if he had the strongest hand he would only check, so I called.

The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent placed a further wager of $20. I hesitated a bit, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I won the money.

Playing late position allows you an idea where you stand by studying how other players react and bet. On the other hand, enthusiasts at starting position could use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned competitors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold'em, both ends, last and early should be bet carefully.
