Hold’em is all about people and seating. All rounded Texas Holdem players agree that seating in no restriction Texas Hold’em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in late position can be certainly more profitable than in starting poker spot. This is because much more info is amassed before acting.
As an example, I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money match at a local poker room. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, so I could see some action. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in starting spot placed a $15 wager. Two individuals drop out and it was now my turn. I really should have dropped out, but his game play appear to be a tiny bit off. I identified this person as a weak-tight person, and normally if he had the number one hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My challenger placed another bet of $20. I deliberated for a while, but took a chance to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the pot.
Wagering at late spot gives you an insight into where you stand by studying how other players behave and wager. On the flip side, players at starting position may use their poker position to check-raise the late seated antagonists and corner them later at the end. In Holdem, both ends, late and starting must be played cautiously.
