Lesson 1

To start this blog off I am going to assume all readers have a basic understanding of the game in question, No Limit Texas Hold'em.

I'll start off with an important lesson, and one that is often overlooked, position. Your position determines what hands you can play and how much information you have. The closer to the button you are, the better. For example, in a 9 player game I might raise with A8 on the button with no previous callers, but if I am first to act I will likely fold it.

Understanding that farther you are from the button the better your starting hand must be, and conversely the closer you are the looser you can play is the first step in improving your poker game!
