I am trying to get a handle on position, as I am making very serious strides in plugging holes. I would like to ask a few questions to clarify certain things :
1) Why is Under-The-Gun called under the gun ? Is not the Small Blind the first to act ? If anyone is under the gun, would it not be the SB ?
2) Is UTG considered early or middle position in a full ring ? 6 max ?
3) Why is the cut-off called the cut-off ?
4) Is the cut-off considered late position like the button is, in a full ring ? How about 6 max ?
5) In 6 max, is the only middle position seat the one that does not have a name ? For instance :
Button - Last
CO - Late
Seat Doe - Middle
UTG - Early ?
BB - Early
SB - First
I hope that this is not too silly, and would appreciate any replies.
