Tournament Poker - Do You Know Why Position Is So Important?
By razz.mysportsbookonline.info

In a no limit poker tournament, it is important to take into account your position at the poker table. If you are in the first three positions after the big blind, you are in an early position. If you are in the last three positions before the small blind, you are in a late position.

Here are some reasons why having position is important both pre-flop and on the flop:

Pre-flop:

• If you are acting in the first three positions after the big blind you are at a disadvantage. It's important to play tighter upfront, as there are so many players who can find a stronger hand and raise you out of the hand.

• If you are acting from the button or the cut-off position, you know the action that took place in front of you, so you can make better decisions on what action is best.

• If you are in the small blind, you need to understand that you have the worst position as you will be forced to act first on every street.

Flop:

• If you are the pre-flop raiser, you want to have position on your opponents since your

decisions will be easier once you know the action in front of you.

• If you flop a big hand, it is easier to build a bigger pot in position. If you check-call an opponent, he will be cautious on the turn as a check-call indicates a stronger hand than a simple call in position.

• In position, you have more options on how to get the most chips in the pot.
