Message: [QUOTE="bremp555, post: 7199903, member: 400983"] I agree with you, position really makes a huge difference. Just yesterday in my session I had a hand where I was on the button with QJ suited. The flop came J-high with a couple of low cards, and the player in the big blind kept betting into me. Because I had position, I was able to just call and see how the action developed. By the river, he slowed down and I made a value bet that got paid. If I had been out of position in that spot, it would have been much harder to control the pot or to know when to go for value. Instead, having position gave me the confidence to extract more chips while avoiding mistakes. That’s why I think position is so important – it’s not only about playing stronger hands, but also about being able to react with more information. Do you also notice that your winrate is much higher on the button and cutoff compared to early positions? [/QUOTE]
