Just because a player has identical cards doesn’t mean that it will automatically win the game

Particularly in Texas Hold’em poker, the position at every hand is key in making a strategic decision. Being the one who initiates the action, or someone who follows, determines how to enter a hand. In the case of having low pocket pairs, the position becomes even more important and, as usual, several factors need to be considered.

1. While being out of position preflop is no picnic, it’s on the flop and beyond that the disadvantages of acting before your opponent (s) really start to bite. Every street gives your opponent a chance to exert more pressure, and the deeper the stacks are, the more your problems will be magnified.
2. AVOID OVERUSE OF AGGRESSION AND TIGHTEN UP POSTFLOP. One of the most common out-of.

The worst-case scenario would be sitting in the small blind holding pocket pairs. For those cases in which a player is raising pre-flop, most likely the opponent is trying to steal the pot, but that doesn’t mean he has a bad hand. It is better not to take that risk and reconsider continuing.

A relative position offers a bit more advantage for players if there are two or more players active in the hand; calling is a good idea. Two things could happen, either you set, or you can use a check-raise strategy, which might force the other opponents to fold. And, stick with the player who follows your call as a perfect chance to raise the pot.

Out of Position What Does It Mean in Poker? When a player is Out of Position (OOP), it means they must act first, before the other players in each betting round. You’re out of position on any player that gets to act after you in a particular betting round. One of the easiest ways to get away with a 3-bet bluff out of position is to realize when you won’t be playing three streets. Position is only as important as the number of streets you play. When you move all-in with 17 big blinds preflop, it doesn’t matter what position you’re in. The guy can’t exploit you.

Generally, it is never a good strategy to participate in a hand in which you have low pocket pairs when there is a three-bet preflop if you are out of position. Even if you hit your set with pocket pairs, if the players are four or five-betting, consider retracting even if it’s a difficult decision. An exception can be made if you have enough stack to take the risk and move forward with the hand.
