Hold’em is all about people and seating. All experienced Hold’em players concur that arrangement in no restriction Holdem is fundamentally important. Showing your hole cards in last spot could be certainly more beneficial than in starting poker position. This is because much more info is gathered before acting.

e.g., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local casino. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, just to see some action. Flop arrived A-A-4. A gambler in starting spot laid a $15 wager. 2 entrants drop out and it was my turn to act. I really should have dropped out, but something seemed a bit off. I labeled this player as a weak-tight player, and usually if he had the best hand he would just check, so I called.

The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent made an additional wager of $20. I deliberated for a while, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I take the chips.

Sitting at late spot gives you an insight into where you sit by studying how enthusiasts behave and bet. On the other hand, gamblers at starting position can use their poker position to check-raise the last positioned aggressors and corner them later at the end. In Texas Holdem, both ends, late and early must be played carefully.
