Without further ado: One of the best investments you can make in poker is to buy the Button.

In my case, the button is not the best option for investment. Due to constant rocket attacks by russian orcs, I am without electricity for most of the day. That's why I've been saving money for the last 3 months for a new smartphone to play poker and I also invested in a power bankJean-Guy said:

I do not quite get the gist of this thread but I do know we used to have a dog named Button. She was a very nice border collie and lived to 17!

I think it's better to invest in cryptocurrencies, although it's hard to say which one
1 bitcoin would be more suitable for you as a button, the players at your table would be surprised

The gist is so obvious that I won’t embarrass you by telling it. I prefer cats to hounds by the way.rachelle2291 said:

I think it's a word game, and you're not talking about real investment in the subject, but the importance of the button at the poker table. Yes, “position, a good card and reasonable aggressive play”. As one smart player from our Community said, “If you have at least 2 from 3 of the above, that's already 75% success”.Jean-Guy said:

True. Buying the button is part of an aggressive playbook used from time to time. Thinking of The Tripple Threath: Position. Hand Selection. Aggression. You invest essentially in buying a Threath. If you can muster all three of them your foe is in dire straits. But two out of three might do the job too.john_entony said:I think it's a word game, and you're not talking about real investment in the subject, but the importance of the button at the poker table.

It depends..but by default a 3BB raise. Occasionally 2,5BB and some times 4-5BB. The investment will off course fail now and then by a foe’s 3-bet. But at other situations a 4-bet can be a sound play. As everything in poker it depend on the playing style of the foe and some other factors too. A Nit re-raise is a clear fold. On the other hand there is no point in trying to buy the button from a Calling Station, since he probably won’t fold which means you won’t obtain position on him. I primarily play NL1000 and there will as good as never be Calling Stations. Nits are rare too. Nits at the higher stakes tend to be scared money.toots babos said:
