POSITION AT THE TABLE

Position at the table is in fact an alternative way of representing the number of players are left to act after you. From a practical point of view this is important, because the more players that act after you, the higher the possibility that one of them has a better hand.

Therefore, the more opponents to act after you means, the earlier your position is and the better your own hand has to be.
