位置——每个扑克玩家的制胜武器

　　就像在房地产中的三个重要因素是“位置，位置，位置”那样，在德州和许多其他的扑克游戏中，玩家所处的位置也有非常大的作用。在玩扑克中，所处位置就好像是电源，将决定你在扑克中你采取怎样的策略。大多数玩家都知道在游戏中应该不断的调整自己的游戏风格，行为，这都是根据他们所处的游戏位置来调整的，但是很多的玩家都未能做到这一点。

　　如在德州扑克和奥马哈扑克游戏当中，玩家的位置是根据按钮按顺时针方向进行选择的。一般来说后，你的位置越好，后期地位呈现出的优势就越明显。如果你在网上打扑克，这一点相对来说就没有那么重要了。当你是在现场扑克赛事中玩牌，最后一个出牌时，你可以观察到你对手在前面的行牌情况，从而根据自己的分析，并能作出明智的决定，是应该盖牌还是加注。从逻辑上讲，最为前面的位置是最坏的位置，因为你无法掌握其他对手的信息，从而只能够根据自己的牌盲目作出决定。因此，如果你是处在第一个位置行牌，你是不可能像处在最后位置行牌的玩家那样具有优势的。

　　要想在扑克游戏当中获胜，你需要观察你的对手，不管你是在网上打扑克，还是在赌场中，这一点都是非常不错的建议。在确定玩家位置前，你必须熟悉所有牌桌上的情况。如果你可以获得最好的位置，同时能够很好的管理自己的投注资金，并且在你的左边是一个弱势玩法的玩家，这样你会更加容易中奖。而那些采取积极进攻型的玩家，最好就是处在你的右边，这样对于你的投注才比较有帮助。综合一样的这些条件，你不但可以发挥更好的优势，同时也可以引他们犯错，从而快速在游戏中取胜。

　　当然了，如果你参加的是在线德州扑克锦标赛，你不可以选择自己的游戏位置。但是，一旦你在游戏当中获得比较好的游戏位置，那么你将会有更多的机会了解对手的情况，从而理性行牌，在游戏中取胜。

　　Just like in the real estate three important factors of the property are “Location, Location and Location” in Texas Holdem and many other poker games it is “Position, Position and Position”。 Position in poker is power and the amount of power you have will define the poker strategy you should adopt. Most players have heard about the importance of adjusting the game style, actions and the starting playable hands according to their position throughout the game, however a lot of them still fail to make such adjustments when it comes to practice.

　　In poker games such as Texas Holdem and Omaha player’s position is fixed in the game and everyone places their bets in turn going clockwise from the button. Generally speaking the later your position the better, the benefits of the late position are obvious. It does not matter if you play poker online or in live poker events, when you are the last one to act you can see your opponents actions, you know the size of the pot and can make an informed decision on whether to fold, call or raise. Logically the early position is worst position, generally speaking, as you have very little or no information of your opponents forthcoming bets and you have to make your decision blindly. So the cards that would be perfectly fine to play in the late position become unplayable and have to be folded if you are the first one to act.

　　To be successful in poker you need to observe your opponents and whether you play poker online or in a casino, it is always a good idea to watch the table for a while before you join in to become familiar with types of players at the table. To get the best seat and optimise your winnings you would be better if players on your left are timid, conservative. Such players are more likely to call and would rather fold if you raise and otherwise are fairly predictable. Unpredictable, tough, aggressive players are best to keep on your right. You will be in much better position to control such players and use them to your advantage winning the money and forcing them to make mistakes.

　　Of course when you play in online poker tournaments you can not choose your seat and will be placed at the table by the software, however knowing your opponents game style and using it to your advantage correctly in your position will help you make correct decisions, maximize your winnings and minimize the losses.
