or maybe im just confused w/ the semantics of being in position. I thought having position, was late position(i.e. small and big blinds). I thought that by playing particular hands in the blinds (late position) pre-flop, you could bet into higher cards when you've hit a strong flop, causing them to raise back into you, simply pot-commiting them. Plus, if you didnt hit a particularly strong flop, you could check around hoping that by the time it got back to you the pot odds would be in your favor enough to stay in the hand. basically i thought it was important in order to control the tempo of the betting round after the flop. but this just isn't the case if you're suggesting i need to be acting last on every round of betting. have i confused you enough yet, i know im confused myself?
If you're the button you're guaranteed to act last on the flop and after. THAT IS WHY YOU PLAY SUITED CONNECTORS ON THE BUTTON AND NOT THE BLINDS.
