INFO:

Position is the most underrated concept in low-stakes poker. Playing JTo UTG and wondering why you’re in tough spots? Start folding more early and punish from late position with stronger ranges. That adjustment alone can change your winrate overnight. Master this and the game starts to feel way easier. Here’s 3 Tips to remember: 1. Don’t Slow Play — Build the Pot Early When you have a strong hand (like AA, KK, QQ, or AK) in position, don’t get fancy preflop. Raise or 3-bet to build the pot and isolate one or two opponents. It sets up a cleaner postflop scenario and gives you control of the hand. Letting too many players in cheaply increases variance and makes it harder to extract value later. ⸻ 2. Use Your Position to Extract Value After the flop, use position to your advantage. If you hit top pair or better, lean into value betting, especially when opponents check to you. You get to see their actions before you decide — use that to size your bets well and avoid overcommitting when the board gets dangerous. ⸻ 3. Avoid Tricky Lines — Keep It Simple In position, strong hands don’t need fancy lines. Beginners often get in trouble trying to trap or check back for deception. Instead, just bet for value. Your hand is often best, and betting protects it while making you money. Keep the pressure on when you have the range and position advantage Good luck at the tables! 🔥
