No Limit Poker: Late Position Play Pre-Flop

No Limit Poker, Table Position
August 13 2008

In No Limit Holdem, position is a very important part of the game. When you’re in the late positions you hold an edge over your opponents. You have the advantage of acting after they do. Learning to take advantage of this edge will win you lots of pots, both small and big. The first thing to learn about late position play is how to play pre-flop.

  • If you’re on the button and the action has come around to you with a caller or two, it’s usually a good idea to call the blind with any two cards. You’re likely to see a flop inexpensively, and if you hit a hand like two pair it could pay off in a big way.
  • If the action comes around to you and you’re facing a raise from an opponent, you should have good cards to continue. This depends partially on the player who raised it, but normally you don’t want to call many bets with rag cards.
