Winning poker is about positioning

Whether you're playing in a cash game or a no-limit hold 'em tournament, a lot of poker advice suggests an automatic raise pre-flop in a blind-vs.-blind situation.

"They've only got it half-right," accomplished pro Daniel Negreanu said. "When you're in the small blind, you're supposed to minimize your loss because you're out of position. But when you're in the big blind, you're supposed to maximize your win. That's true of any situation with position, especially in tournament poker."

The power of position also requires some careful play, as Negreanu showed in this hand from the World Poker Tour's $15,000-buy-in Doyle Brunson World Poker Classic at Las Vegas' Bellagio in 2007.

Careful poker players pay attention to their odds, position, and opponents. However, careless players will seldom pay attention to such things. There was a 1965 Noble Prize winning Physicist by the name of Richard P. Feynman. He wisely said, "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything..." Feynman would have been a good poker player who knew the questions to ask and knew that even then, there was no certainty. Reckless poker players play as if they are certain about everything-including themselves.
