Table Position Considerations

by admin on

Advanced players can play a few more borderline hands and add some deceptive
plays that have an expected value of close to break even or are just slightly
profitable. Beginning players will probably lose money playing these additional
hands.

Early Position

• Consider slowplaying your premium hands AA, KK, and AKs in a tight
aggressive game.

• Consider raising with medium pairs and a hand like AJ in a tight game.

• Consider calling first in with Axs, KJs, and QJs.

• Consider calling with a few more speculative hands like 66 and QTs when
there has already been one or two callers,

• Rarely make a deceptive raise from early position on the internet with a hand
like 98s,

Middle Position

• Consider raising first in with any hand that you would call if you feel you have
a reasonable chance of either stealing the blinds or control ling the flop.

• Sometimes even consider raising some borderline hands against one limper
if the conditions are right.

• Your first consideration in a raised pot is the position of the raiser.

Late Position

• Consider raising with many hands when first in, especially if the blind are
tight or play poorly after the flop.

• Raise fairly often against a limper who calls from middle or late position.

• Against a lone raiser, you should generally either reraise or fold.

• Against several strong opponents, consider raising with your medium pairs.
Generally just call against weak opponents.
