How to Play Poker -- Poker Table PositionWritten by Tom Howze
Poker seating and position one has at table is one of most important and least talked about aspects of poker. It's especially relative to Texas Hold'Em poker game because it is positional in nature. Where a player sits each hand determines amount of information he or she can gain on other players. This can have a big effect on your poker strategy and how a hand is played. This article will reference how to play poker from a table of 10 players and discuss playing from dealer, early, middle and late positions. Dealer Position -- This position, also referred to as "on button", is most coveted because once flop takes place, dealer is last to act. This means you can watch and gather information on all other players before making your decision. Aggressive play is expected from this position, especially when all others have checked. Almost any hand except trash hands like 9 2, 10 4 offsuit can be considered for play here. For example, your opponent has Jc, Jh. You have Qd, Kd and are dealer. Your opponent raised $20 before flop and you called. The flop shows 2d, 3d, 5d. You both check flop and turn shows 8c. Your opponent checks, you raise $20 and they call. On river Js comes up and your opponent raises $50. From watching you figure they may have trips. You raise to $100, they call and you win with a King high flush. Had you been in your opponents position of having to bet first, you would have been hard pressed to figure what dealer had. Early Position -- This is made up of positions 1, 2 and 3 to left of dealer and are least advantageous as you are first to act after flop and have no information on other players. Here one should play only strongest hands like paired A's, K's, Q's, J's, Tens, or suited AK, AQ, AJ and KQ. Anything outside of these one should consider folding and waiting for a better opportunity, especially with an aggressive table. One thing that can be done from an early position is bluffing. Betting from an early position can imply that you do have a strong hand, but bluffing too often will result in others picking up on it and can be disastrous, particularly when aggressive bettors are at table.

This burning desire to seek more and more chances to win is a natural human reaction. It’s a true addiction with feeling “winning” sensation. People will actually pay $1,000, win $100 and feel “good” because they won something without realizing they actually lost money.
