Table Position — Online Poker Strategy

Table position means how many players act before you. At Baatryn Öröö, the button (BTN) is the most profitable seat.

Quick answer

Acting last = more information = better decisions. Play more hands on the button; play tight from early position.

Seat names

Seat Notes
BTN (button) Acts last post-flop
CO (cutoff) Left of button
MP Middle
EP / UTG First to act
SB / BB Blinds posted

Why the button wins

  • You decide last on every street
  • You see if opponents bluff or show strength
  • Easier pot control

Early position rule

From EP, stick to premium hands: AA, KK, QQ, AK. See starting hand selection.

Big blind

You already invested — can see flops cheaply, but don't build huge pots with trash.

At Baatryn Öröö

  • Hold'em 9-max — position matters a lot
  • Omaha 6-max — more action, button still strong
