Hey whats up guys, I'm new to these poker forums and want to learn more about poker and the tricks behind it all. I been playing for about 3 years now and been doing pretty good, so fare I won almost every tournament I go to but it feels like im missing something like Postioning.

I know when to raise and how to bet and so on but where im confused in is the postioning, for example if im small blind or im big blind or dealer botton, what should I do or whats BEST that I should do in those postions depending on what hand do I have.

Thank you

lol @ Kama Sutra. Thats a good one

In answer to your question - it depends. Position is only one piece of the decision making process. You also need to factor in relative stack size, how many poeple are in the pot already, what are the tendencies of the people left to act after you etc.

Like Triple-T says, it is a very general question and hard to answer ( the book he recommends is very good btw - little dated but still good). Try asking a little more specific question and you should have better luck getting an answer.

ie. folded to me on the button I have 15bb left and the blinds are tight and have me slightly covered. Blinds and antes are 200/400 with 25 ant. Should I open raise or just open shove and what range of hands should I be doing this with.

welcome to pokerforums

dont get me wrong, i know what to do, i just want everyone opinion see if what i do really works.

and yes to answer your question i am going to WSOP, maybe in 2 years from now.

im planing on becoming a professional poker player

and thank you for the welcome btw guys, really feels like this is a great forum to speak about my poker status

Position......hmmmmm. Best way to sum up position is this: Button - play more hands and with a wider range because you have the ability to act last and judge what to do based on the actions of those before you. Blinds - usually if you play from the blinds, play tight and make sure you have a strong hand if there are more than 3 or 4 people in the hand.
