i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit cash round at a local poker room. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, just to see some excitement. Flop arrived A-A-4. A player in starting spot made a fifteen dollar bet. 2 individuals fold and it was now my turn to act. I should have folded, but his game play appear to be a little off. I read this player as a weak-tight bettor, and normally if he held the biggest hand he would simply check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, meaning it was a A-A-4-7. My challenger laid an additional bet of $20. I deliberated a tiny bit, but took a chance to re-raise another $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the chips.
Betting at last position gives you an idea where you stand by observing how gamblers react and bet. On the flip side, enthusiasts at starting position can use their poker spot to check-raise the late positioned antagonists and trap them later at the end. In Holdem, each spots, late and starting must be wagered carefully.
