which of these three positions is the worst in a poker table?...and Why?
UTG (Under the Gun)
MP (Middle Position)

CO, almost never helps against other opponents, many lost hands.

I believe UTG (Under the Gun) ... is a position with too much disadvantage, you are always exposed

I never do not look at position, only best hands try to play. But UTG i try to play only with nice hands or poket pairs.

I think you should learn to play with position, in the poker tutorial books of professional players they always advise to learn to play with position. It's very important

each position has its own drawbacks, i love being utg or +1 as you are the one who sets the tone, other than that just knowing the ranges you should be playing in each seat is the most important IMO

UTG cuz ur play first without knowleg what the other player will doing.

UTG is the most vulnerable because you have so many to act behind you. If alot of people call your raise the blinds will be priced in so your range should be tighter. Post flop you will be out of position also except against the blinds.

the position is very strongly influenced by the table, but to name which is better is wrong, many additional factors, such as the strength of the hand, the game of the players, your stack, the chip leader game

Exactly, you said it correctly! 👍👍

I think that the worst position is UTG. In this position, you need to be more selective at the choice of starting hands, because we will have little information about the strength of the opponents hands.

Ofc UTG. Nothing is clear at a table, and it is already necessary to make the choice

also because they are obliged to CALL the bet with the blind, and in the next rounds the first UTG would speak in the first preflop position and in the rest of the rounds only the blinds would be in front.

I personally think SB is pretty bad as well (at least in 6 max). Unless everyone folds to you, you pretty much have to 3-bet, because you will be in an even worse position than UTG after the flop. Very difficult one to play if you get sandwiched between BU and BB.

In the utg for sure,you are the first to speak before the Flop you have no opponent information.

"Under The Gun" of all of the above is the worst position, as it is an early position - and as we know, in the early position (Smart players) narrow their range of starting hands, since after the the gun go middle and late positions .. .and you can not know what their actions will be!

Definitely the best position is the button. all considered a bad position under the gun, but if you're the chip leader is the best position for the Slowplay and aggression will allow you to. It's My opinion

MP is complicated because CO can come back to you, the SB can still pay, sometimes you have AJs, QQ, this one in MP, but before you get UTG make a strong raise, you pay CO back everything, that's what you does, you're certainly behind, MP frankly is tricky to play because you're too exposed.

UTG undoubtedly is the worst position because you are in the starting position and will be the first to speak, so you must select your range of hands and have a large number of people to speak after your action, you can receive 3 -bet, All in and have to drop your hand and lose chips.

i think under the gun is the worst postion out of those 3

Definitely UTG. You are first to act preflop, but have no information about the hand strength of anyone.

On a very timid table, you can sometimes use UTG to your advantage. If you have a tight table image and close to the bubble, a sizeable bet will usually go uncontested. Don’t overdo it though.

I hate getting a monster starting hand like AA, UTG. Bet too big and you get no callers and too small you may get more than you bargained for. It’s particularly annoying early in a tournament, when the blinds are small.

in the UTG position you do not have information on the development of the hand, you will always be exposed, there are many players who do not take into account the position but ignore the importance of knowing how to play with position

UTG is the worst position at the table but MP and CO can cause difficulties if someone to your left is a solid player that 3bets often.

All positions are good, depending on many factors and statistics

Definitely UTG in that position will always be the first to act ... and that leaves you exposed ... in addition all the decisions you make will be based on your cards without being able to know how the rest of the villains will act ...!
