	Poker Position Requirements Strategy \| Stacks Poker Online
		Position in poker is the order in which players are seated around the table.
		On any betting round, the player who acts first (who are said to be in "first position") has a distinct disadvantage compared to those who act later (who are said to be in "late position"), because the later players will always have more information on which to base their decisions.
		You are said to "have position" on players who act before you in a betting round, and are said to be "out of position" to those players who act after you.

	Using Table Position in Texas Hold'em - Advanced Poker Strategy
		Position is a vital concept in poker that is often touched upon in beginner books about texas hold'em, but not enough to give players a good idea of how to use it.
		Specifically, position is the concept of where you are in relation to the button (the small disc that goes around the poker table determining who posts the small and big blinds).
		When in late position, you are often in situations where the hand has been checked around to you (nobody has bet at the pot) and have an opportunity to make a steal (bluff) at the pot to win it right there.

		Position in poker refers to the order in which players are seated around the table, and the strategic and tactical consequences of this.
		Other games like Draw are extremely positional, and in fact one's position relative to an opponent can be more important tactically than the cards you hold.
		Here's an example from Texas hold'em: There are 10 players playing $4/$8 fixed limit; the player to the left of the button (let's call her Angela) pays a $2 blind, the next player (Bill) pays a $4 blind, and you (Charlie) are next to act.

		In big bet poker, it is possible to reach a situation in which you are uncomfortable with the amount of money you have invested in a pot.
		Poker is commonly played in cardrooms (often within casinos) and in private home games (illegally in many states).
		From this position, pushing the pot (literally, the chips in the pot) will result in the movement of the pot towards the winner of the hand, so that the player can add the chips to his or her stacks.

	Position Importance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		When you are playing any variation of poker, online or in a land based casino, your seat position can play a very important role in both how you proceed with your hand and how the hand is played by the other players at the table.
		Another advantage of middle position is that there are fewer players who have not acted, and so the chances that someone will raise you are lower.

	Position in Poker - Changing Position - Position Advantages
		While superior position doesn't automatically win hands, it does make it more likely you will make better bets -- in the same way that a general who positions his troops on terrain he is familiar with will have an edge.
		sometimes these will offer positional advantages too, but for the most part, just being last to act is such a significant edge that all good players will tend to play more hands when they are in late position and less hands when they are in early position.
		In contrast, betting the low from early position can lead to scrambling where the later position players try to drive each other out; or, if there is another nut low in play, betting will tend to slow that player down so that they don't raise in three-way situations.

	Table position - Online Poker Forums
		Some of the Jungle Poker freerolls had 6-8 sit-outs at a table at some points, and Party sometimes has a lot of sit-outs.
		Not only do you effectively play short-handed, but when all the sit-outs are after one player, then they effectively get position over the other active players much more often, and you clearly see how this lets them steal more pots and generally outplay their opponent.
		Generally in those kinds of freerolls, the other players have to put all their chips on the line to get much profit against an aggressive position-holder, while the one with added position from the sit-outs steals a lot of pots, and can afford the occasional gamble to knock out the other players.

		This is considered the worst position in poker since you have to act first without knowing how any of the other players are going to play their hands.
		You get to see how the poker players in early position play their hands before you have to act, but there are still quite a few pesky players to follow you.
		Being in late position allows you to have a lot more information about how the hand is going as you have seen how the majority of the table has decided to play their cards before you have to make your own choice of whether to call, bet, raise, or fold.

	Real Poker Lessons
		The basic idea is that you want to play in late position as much as possible simply so you can see what people do before its your turn to act.
		Of course that's not entirely possible as the button constantly rotates, but understanding what hands should be played from what position is a key component to playing poker.
		In middle position, I will generally come in with hands like Q-10, J-10, A-Q, etc. Just remember that people in late position always act after you which give them opportunities to bluff, raise, etc. if you miss.

		Basicly what i think a good strategy might be is to call/raise AA in 1st position in a large table (especially an agressive table with lots of raising going on).
		By call/raising you can extract more from the pot by watching some small raises get called and maybe re-raise which can commit them more to the raises you would give them and more action therefore is taken.
		On a few occasions they win, mostly when they limp in one of the blinds after only one or two others have limped in, or call a small raise in the blinds.

	Card Player Magazine - What's Your Position on the Game of Poker? by Roy West
		Position in a poker game is simply how many players will act after you do.
		If they play long enough, most poker players will eventually figure out that it's best to be the last to act, after the other players have already acted (checked, bet, raised, and so on).
		You'll want to be "positioned" where you can most efficiently judge the value of your hand in comparison to those players who act ahead of you and those who act behind you.

		Having position in a hand allows you to act after you have seen all your other opponents act, gives you the opportunity to make the last bluff, and allows you to get a free card when you really need it.
		This positional advantage will allow you to win hands that you should have no business winning if cards were the only things that mattered.
		If you are in position and playing against a predictable player who will bet if he hits the flop and checks if he misses the flop, then you will be able to pick up two out of three pots that way with a bet.

		Poker is a game of incomplete information, and the earlier your position, the more incomplete the information.
		If you had the same hand in last position, however, it would have been correct for you to bet the flop once it was checked around to you, likely making you the winner of the pot.
		Poker is part psychological warfare, and making a few well-timed reraises on the big blind is an effective pre-emptive strike against the enemies to your right.
