Texas Holdem is all about people and arrangement. All knowledgeable Hold'em enthusiasts agree that position in no limit Hold'em is critically important. Showing your hole cards in last position could be certainly more profitable than in early poker position. This is due to the fact that a lot more information is assembled before acting.

i.e., I played in a $1-$2 no limit cash game at a local poker room. I limped in holding 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, just to see a little excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A bettor in starting position placed a fifteen dollar wager. 2 entrants drop out and it was my turn. I should have folded, but something seemed a bit odd. I read this player as a weak-tight individual, and typically if he had the best hand he would simply check, so I called.

The turn came down with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My opponent laid a further bet of $20. I deliberated for a while, but made a decision to re-raise a further $30thirty dollars on top of his twenty dollars. He dropped out and I won the pot.

Betting at late spot provides you an idea where you are positioned by studying how other entrants behave and bet. On the flip side, enthusiasts at starting position could use their poker position to check-raise the late positioned competitors and corner them afterwords at the end. In Texas Hold'em, both ends, late and starting must be played cautiously.
