The Importance of Poker Seating
Holdem is just about gamblers and arrangement. All knowledgeable Hold’em enthusiasts agree that seating in no cap Hold’em is critically significant. Showing your hole cards in late spot will be much more beneficial than in starting poker position. The reason because a lot more information is collected right before acting.
e.g., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money game at a local poker room. I came in with 2, 9 unsuited on the dealer marker, just to partake in some action. Flop came down A-A-4. A player in early position made a $15 bet. 2 players fold and it was now my turn. I really should have dropped out, but his betting seemed a little odd. I ID’d this individual as a weak-tight bettor, and typically 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 challenger made another wager of $20. I hesitated a little bit, but took a chance to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I take the cash.
Gambling at late spot provides you an idea where you are positioned by watching how players behave and bet. On the flip side, players at early spot could use their poker position to check-raise the late seated aggressors and trap them afterwords at the end. In Hold’em, each spots, late and starting must be wagered cautiously.
