About Position
Hi,
For several times, I heard that it’s actually better to be on the button or in late position and that one should play tight earlier and then later part play loose. On the flip side, it seems to be different in some tournaments featured on television, it’s playing loose earlier.
Well for me the only way to win is to play loose, then bet big and do some scaring works to some players. In case I’m holding J8 and flop is AQ8 or even Q 10 7, I think the only way for my hand to win is to bet big. I believe this will make players not on Ace fold.
On a sided note, if one were to play tight in early position, player on button or in late position might bet big and so I will be forced to fold. What do you think?
Regards,
Jet
Jet,
You have it backwards, play tight in early position and looser in later position. Doing otherwise will be a long term loser. Don’t pay attention to what you see on TV. TV poker is heavily edited and they only show the entertaining hands or the significant hands.
