Texas Holdem is simply about people and seating. All rounded Texas Holdem players concur that seating in no cap Holdem is fundamentally important. Showing your hole cards in last spot can be much more profitable than in starting poker spot. This is because a lot more information is assembled before acting.
i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit money game at a local poker room. I came in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, just to see some excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A player in starting position laid a $15 bet. 2 entrants drop out and it was now my turn to act. I really should have folded, but something felt a bit odd. I identified this individual as a weak-tight individual, and usually if he had the strongest hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn showed with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor laid an additional wager of $20. I hesitated for a while, but made a decision to re-raise another $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the chips.
Gambling at late spot gives you an idea where you stand by observing how entrants behave and bet. On the flip side, people at starting spot may use their poker position to check-raise the last seated competitors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold’em, both spots, last and early must be bet carefully.
