POSITION is the most important part of poker! How and how much you play should in a large part be by your position at the table. CARDSCHAT has a great free 30 day course, Position and how to use it is one of the main classes.

Position give u information, then use it to bluff or not.

If your opponent got big pairs, or u always bluff, then position is useless.

It certainly is. Position at the table determines lots of other aspects in the game - the most obvious being out preflop opening/calling ranges. It also determines whether we should cbet certain flops or not. Out of position we are supposed to be checking somewhere around that 80-90% margin....not much of the field is doing this. Up until about 2 months ago I was cbetting somewhere around 40% or so OOP and thats twice as much as i should be.

Position also determines how much power we have in the hand - in position - or being the last player to act post flop - gives us tons of insight into a hand and allows us to dictate the pace of such. In multiway pots we get to analyze the situation and determine what we would like to do - and in heads up pots we get to apply immense pressure to our opponents when the situation calls for such.

So understanding table positions - proper ranging - and what kinds of textures you should be cbetting - will step up your game immensely!

The position is very important, it gives you many advantages over everyone, especially in the bubble since most expect to enter prizes, a lot of advantage ahead.
