Position in the table is an extremely important factor in determining how to play a certain hand.
The reason being that if we are in late position we have the advantage of observing what other players did in this round and can be less intimidated by a possible raise to a bet we may do .
On the other hand early position is quite a big disadvantage and should lead us to play more carefully in this specific hand.
To sum up,use the leverage of being in a late position to play stronger if you have decent hands. On the other side be very cautious when playing from an early position.
In Holdem games the blinds rotate across the table, usually clockwise. The player to the left of the dealer will place the small blind while the next player will post the big blind.
In the first round of betting the players that posted blinds are last to bet while in round after that they are first to bet and the dealer is last to bet. Being the dealer is by far the best position in these games.
