What is your position at the poker table?

Position refers to the order in which players are seated around the table and the strategic consequences of this. Your position at the table is very important, because the more players are behind you, the higher is the probability that at least one of them can have a better hand.

To determine your position, you start at the current dealer and count the seats between you and the dealer counter-clockwise.

Generaly, in a 10 seats poker table, you have these positions:

- 2 late positions; the dealer and the player to his right
- 3 middle positions; the following 3 players
- 3 early positions; next 3 players
- 2 blind positions; the 2 players that already played small and big blind.

Position is one of the most vital elements to understand in order to be a long-term winning player. As a player’s position improves, so too does the range of cards with which he can profitably enter a hand.

Order of Poker hands

I think some of you need sometime to remember which is the order of Poker hands. So I will list here all posible situations, listed from the smallest posible winner to the king of poker hands, the Royal Flush.

High card
A high-card or no-pair hand is a poker hand such as , in which no two cards have the same rank, the five cards are not in sequence, and the five cards are not all the same suit. High card ranks below all other poker hands; two such hands are ranked by comparing the highest ranking card. If those are equal, then the next highest ranking card from each hand is compared, and so on until a difference is found.

One pair
One pair is a poker hand such as , which contains two cards of the same rank, plus three other unmatched cards. Higher ranking pairs defeat lower ranking pairs; if two hands have the same pair, the non-paired cards (the kickers) are compared in descending order to determine the winner.

Two pairs
A poker hand such as , which contains two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus one unmatched card, is called two pair. To rank two hands both containing two pair, the higher ranking pair of each is first compared, and the higher pair wins. If both hands have the same “top pair”, then the second pair of each is compared. Finally, if both hands have the same two pairs, the kicker determines the winner.

Three of a kind
Three of a kind, also called trips or set, is a poker hand such as , which contains three cards of the same rank, plus two unmatched cards. Higher-valued three of a kind defeat lower-valued three of a kind.

Straight
A straight is a poker hand such as , which contains five cards of sequential rank but in more than one suit. Two straights are ranked by comparing the highest card of each. Two straights with the same high card are of equal value, suits are not used to separate them.

Flush
A flush is a poker hand such as , which contains five cards of the same suit, not in rank sequence. Two flushes are compared as if they were high card hands; the highest ranking card of each is compared to determine the winner.

Full house
A full house is a hand such as , which contains three matching cards of one rank, and two matching cards of another rank. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking set of three wins.

Four of a kind
Four of a kind, also known as quads, is a poker hand such as , which contains four cards of one rank, and an unmatched card of another rank. Higher ranking quads defeat lower ranking ones.

Straight flush
A straight flush is a poker hand which contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit, such as . Two such hands are compared by their highest card.

Royal flush
An ace-high straight flush such as    is known as a royal flush, and is the highest ranking standard poker hand.

An interesting fact to know, the probability to be dealt a royal flush in any suit in a five card hand is 1 for every 649,740 dealt hands, so do not cry if you haven’t seen a dealt Royal Flush in your entire life :)
