Hi all Im new here and Ill probably be posting up alot more problems after this , but theres been some nice advice that Ive been reading the past few weeks,
Anyway Im playing microstakes 2/5nl on stars and breaking even, my bank has been going from 10$ to 25$ back to 10$ etc. Ive been playing very tight which I believe is my problem at the moment, I will raise alot with a good hand but it just seems players in these stakes arent as loose as people constantly make them out to be(for me anyway)
Anyway Ive done alot of reading about holdem theory on the internet and Ive just started harrington on holdem but the question I have is about position.
I guess I just dont see why its ever so important and would like if someone could shed light on it.
Dont get me wrong, I understand that if everyone is making the move before you you have more information on them about their hand, but for me, I cant grasp the concept of that info being enough to call low suited connecters or QJo etc when in late position as opposed to only sticking to top pairs etc in early position. When Im on the button I still find it hard to raise with a low pair(for example)
Im just wondering could people give me examples of hands where position was so vital? Is it because you can bully them if theyre checking?
Is it because you can fold if they raise?
Thanks in advance,
