Position
Your seat relative to the button, which decides when you act in each betting round.
"In position" means you act after your opponent; "out of position" means you act first. Acting last lets you see what others do before you decide, control the pot size and bluff more effectively.
Position is so important that the same hand can be a raise on the button and a fold under the gun.
Questions players ask
