In poker, the position is so very important. Now I would like to discuss the importance of selecting the location. In poker, it is so, the later I must act, so the closer I am sitting on the button on the right side, the better. This is the worst position of the small blind is left of the button and the best position it has on the button. In between, there js the early, middle and late position. In addition to the maps, the position is the most important in poker.
Benefits of early position
Yes, the early position can bring an advantage, even if it does not immediately think.
The early position provides an excellent basis for a so-called check-raise, when I check with the hopes of the enemies of your bed and I can then re-raise. Basically you get when you raise in early position and another player reraises anzubrigen a good way to bet more. You can also attack the blinds immediately, this is a rather borderline situation, there are many players to act after a. At a table Tighten this can work well.
Last but not least is the early position in a good position for a bluff, because you can act first. Furthermore, be assigned to a position of principle in the early-better hands (by opponents), because you do not expect that someone is playing a bad hand from early position.
Advantages of the late-position
First there was the information advantage that is probably the most important. You can look at the betting and look exactly which player strength and weakness, which shows. Then you can plan without much concern his action. In addition, the opponent does not know how I will act. If they want to raise, for example, they think it may again, as they do not know if I go again over-the-top. If an opponent checked to me and he just does not want to inject a check-raise, this indicates either that he is sitting on a draw and is hoping for a free card, or he has nothing. In both cases, I embed. This turn is taken from me in the early position.
The perfect seating arrangement is when the good players (tight-aggressive, loose-aggressive) to my left and the bad players (loose-passive, tight-passive) sitting to my right.
Unfavorable would be a reverse seating order.
The seating arrangement is fundamental to a poker player, taking in only good or only bad players, repays players at the same level, does not have as serious consequences.
