Quick tips

So at the behest of some random poker player guy who kept pleading with me in the chat to learn about position in poker and why it mattered. And I kindly told him i was going to disregard his message and play my own way...

But at one point I became a bit tilted from shoving in bad positions or just sizing wrong in general in the wrong positions and losing my stack after just eliminating a couple of players and thinking i could shove with 55 in any position against someone who normally wakes up behind me with a bigger pair only to take my stack.

So i decided to go to youtube and do some quick learning about positions. To my surprise, my first tournament the next day, I had dominated with every pair i had shoved in the correct positions. I also had placed 1st, and 30 dollars turned into 1200 or so. Bounties included.

Whoever you were kind sir who plead with me to increase my knowledge about positions, I want to thank you and hopefully have this thread filled up with some basic tips and tricks for killing it at poker.

Around 1990 I started playing poker in casinos and read a few poker books. They all mentioned how important position was and how you would play the same hands differently depending on position. I just didn't grasp it. As soon as I started playing it all fell into place and was easy to understand. I just needed to play for it to make sense.
