In my place the late position is better than an early position, the best position is the button, since from this position we can see and calculate the strength of the cards and the hands of our opponents.

I tend to agree mostly, but sometimes prefer to be first to have the opportunity to bet, especially when I totally miss the flop.

Of course, the late position in poker is considered the best. On the button or cut-off you can play a much wider range of hands than in the middle or early positions. You also see how many opponents entered the game, and you know roughly what hands your opponents have, and thanks to this, you can more accurately calculate the size of your raise or 3bet. A player in late position has more information than players in early and middle positions, this is the main advantage.

Late position is best but early position is great when you have a trapping hand and playing against aggressive opponents. That said I would always take the button if given a choice.

Early positions are usually good only when a strong hand is tied.

Imo, I like SB, most of my steals are from this position.

Early positions are good as long as we have good cards.

The cutoff seems to be my sweet spot. All late positions are beneficial.

Playing early with strong cards is good but more so when I just wait for my opponents to bet, so I try to win a big pot.

If I have AA, I like the BB best (last to act preflop). Otherwise it's the button (last to act post flop).

the best position is the button, it's where you have the most info, where the most money is made, and oh so so so so much more.

I love the button so much that I made an entire webinar on it's benefits! Check it out!





Hope you enjoy!

The best position for sure is the button, but when we play poker online, sometimes we are at a table with kind levels of player, so sometimes be at the side a weak player is a good option too, when you have the late decision

Late position is the most convenient. you can get a big picture for yourself at the table without risking chips. In late positions, many poker players play the most hands. It is believed that the best positions in Texas Hold'em are precisely at the end of the table. The most winning poker position - the button

I think this is a rhetorical question! But the best place is when you are surrounded by fish!

I would say cut-off or sb, cut-off b/c if unopened great place to bluff. SB b/c get to bet first post flop once again great place to bluff. I speak of bluffing in correlation to position because if you have good cards position doesn't matter as much. Not saying it does not matter just not as much as when bluffing. If what I have read is correct cut-off is most bluffed spot at table but I have also heard people say the button is so IDK.:evil:

Best position at the table is any seat if I’m at the table.
I'm confused do you mean any seat your in or any seat at table because your going to disperse your chips around the table because it reads as if you mean the latter.:hahaha:
