The Power of Position (Day 1 Course Discussion)

[Antonio777]

You can go ahead and start the course now. Let us know what you think?

I had the basic understanding of Postion but didnt always consider position,an example : I'm UTG with TT preflop, I've pushed All In in a situation like this i dont know how many times. After Day 1 reading and watching the video I dont think i would do the same. I may shove a half pot raise in. Possibly limp in. I was considering the cards and not the position . I did't always do this but had tendency to just as a reflex or reaction. I've been taught something from Day 1 for sure. Also interested in the Relative Position. I never thought about that.
Thanks

To finish and it has helped me a lot, I hope to put into practice and learn much more, I only know the basics and I need even more, especially to learn the position ranges, I still need to learn when to retire

Yes that is a hard lesson to learn - we all hate to give up good hands!

I am pretty sure the course does not advocate open limping. Open limping is the opposite of using the power of position.
I have heard Collin say that he does not even have an open limping range.

Today I start the course, and I hope to understand it to improve my game, thanks to the Community for giving us the opportunity to improve our game.

I'm fascinated how much I underestimated the importance of position and I totally missed out on relative position at the tables. Holy macaroni, I found out that my range in LP situations is way too tight. I appreciate Katie's and Collin's work and I can't wait to get more leaks fixed. Will try out my improved strategy tomorrow with the two welcome freerolls I got from SwissCasino. Thanks folks for this lesson.

Hello guys
My first post here

I like Day 1 , I use the 10 Player Table EP as SB, BB, UTG, and UTG+1, Middle Position as seats 5,6 and 7 , Late Position as HJ CO and Button.
9 Player table ; SB, BB, UTG, MP ,as UTG+1, seats 5and 6, LP as HJ, CO, and Button.

I just finished Day 1 and watched the video — and I’m already seeing the game differently. I used to underestimate the power of position, but now it's clear how much of a game-changer it is. Being in late position really gives you more control over the pot and helps avoid tough decisions.

One question I had: when you're in early position with a decent hand like A-J suited or pocket 9s, how do you balance playing tight versus not missing out on value? Sometimes I fold these hands too often out of fear of a raise behind me.

Thanks to Collin, Katie, and the CardsChat team for putting together this course. Excited for the next lessons!

Thank you, Collin and Katie, for the excellent content in Day 1. The way you explained the strategic value of acting last and how position influences every decision really opened my eyes to how important this concept is in poker.

It’s one of those lessons that seems simple on the surface, but makes a huge difference in results once you start applying it consistently. I appreciate the clear and practical way you presented it — really valuable insight for anyone serious about improving their game!
