Message: [QUOTE="tcummo, post: 1805073, member: 62608"] UTG is first to act pre-flop, this is to the left of the BB. after the flop the SB is first to act. your postion improves the later you are to act, with the button being the best position. there is also 'relative' position. for instance, you raise utg and all fold to the blinds. if any of the blinds call, you have position after the flop (you are last to act). generally, playing in position allows you to steal more eg continuation bets. also it is easier to control pot size when you have position. when you are out of position its harder to get max value from your good hands. there are other things too. In general playing 'in' position is better than playing a hand 'out' of position, because you have more information on which to base your decisions. [/QUOTE]
