Playing Position Poker

Something I've noticed at the poker tables is many people play a hand just because they think it’s good and pay no attention to their position at the table. For example, you pick up a hand like KJ, QJ, K10, etc. and you think to yourself, this is pretty good. Well, if there is a raise and 3 or 4 other people have already limped in before the action is up to you you’re probably beat and should fold the hand. Many people still make the mistake though and play the hand. I really don't understand how they think they have a good shot at winning the pot when they do that. Don’t be afraid to fold these hands.

Your position at the table is just as important as the cards you get. When you're in late position you're in a power spot. Take advantage of that. Raise more from late position and play more hands from late position. At a full table you shouldn't be raising or even calling from early position with hands like Q10, K9, ace rag. Even hands like A10, and KJ should be folded under the gun (first position). Those hands are very beatable, especially when you play them in early position. Play more hands from late position and less from early position and you will enjoy more success.
