In which type is position the most important, and it which type is it the least important?

A) Most: No-limit, least: Pot-limit
B) Most: No-limit, least: Limit

D) Most: Pot-limit, least: Limit
E) Most: Limit, least: Pot-limit
F) Most: Limit, least: No-limit

Assume stacks of 100-200 big blinds.

I think in No Limit position must have the most importance, because position is not very helpful in Limit style games since people can call all the way down to the river with tremendous pot odds, since the small bet scale will never even get close to the amount in the pot. So trying to use position in that case would be like putting a screen door on a submarine LOL

Edit: Sorry in my description I forgot to add my answer which would be B Most: No Limit, Least: Limit.

And I always enjoy a good poll that makes me think, so no need for a "prize" if the answer is right. I just enjoy participating.

100% sure that it has to be most in NL, least in limit, mainly for the reason given by lady ^^

So with this in mind we can eliminate G) Equally important in all games.

see the question actually reads Which Position is Most/Least important

when analyzed it is asking u 2 questions,and relates an order most to least. In which type is position the most important, and in which type is it the least important?

so thinking this way and faced with the decision of furnishing an answer of all available choices provided.

B) Most: No-limit, least: Limit is my answer.

Yes thats my final answer.

All others make no sense because NL is way more dangerous than Pot limit and limit is least of all of em and the orders are no good the question

Interesting breakdown there....

I have to say D. Ive seen it used quite effectively in pot limit. Fixed limit is obviously the least dangerous, but a lot of people dont realize how quick they can find themselves in trouble out of position in pot limit,

F) with a limit game, betting position offers the best advantage for gain. (and loss on suckouts)

most will fold on marginal hands when bet against on limit games, (consider holding AA and getting sucked out). Play AA hard regardless.

some will call their marginal hands and will suckout. Your AA is dead to a straight and what can you do. Look back and check raise that AA?

Larger buyins offer less suckouts, so bet and keep betting or raising to get the most out of a good hand, and avoid the suckout. (can you guess that suckouts do occur, especially when limping, small bets and checks are offered)

I have witnessed the bets and raises in these limit games and the better/raiser does win most of the time.

As for NL games, too many bluffs occuring to actually make the gain your hoping to realize (are you really calling me?)

[Krahsami]

I agree that pot limit and even limit you can be dangerous but Question asks most dangerous not is it dangerous and I'd have to say NL is most dangerous.

I actually asks for most important

I have to believe that since my post won a nomination for poker thread of the week, that my answer is truely the right answer. Why would the mod's think otherwise. I would love to fund my Pokerstars account with the money.

sorry Buildmo... i had posted the answer in a new thread... i had tried to do it on this one but i screwed it up... any way from that post.....

Default Position: The Correct Answer Is...
Well I posted a thread last Sunday titled Position, you can view the answers given in that thread here Position

So the question was:

You're playing Texas - but which betting type? Position is important in all poker games. However, it's more important in some than in others.

In which type is position the most important, and it which type is it the least important?

A) Most: No-limit, least: Pot-limit
B) Most: No-limit, least: Limit
C) Most: Pot-limit, least: No-limit
D) Most: Pot-limit, least: Limit
E) Most: Limit, least: Pot-limit
F) Most: Limit, least: No-limit
G) Equally important in all games.

Assume stacks of 100-200 big blinds

The correct answer is D

You can reason yourself to the right answer here, even if you don't normally play any specific version.

Position is very important in all poker games, but more in certain ones than in others.

In limit, the position advantage means you'll win or lose one or two extra bets per pot. In no-limit, position means you'll sometimes win or lose a full pot. In other words, position is much more important in big-bet poker than in limit.

On the other hand, you can always go all-in when you're playing no-limit in bad position - and as long as you're all-in, position won't matter for the remaining streets.

You can't make these big overbets in pot-limit, where there's room for bets pre-flop, on the flop, on the turn, and on the river. In other words, having the best position is better in pot-limit than in no-limit.

So: pot-limit, no-limit, limit. That's the correct order.

To be honest im not sure why you would have been chosen... your own breakdown of why the answer would be F contradicts your answer. in your answer u said

most will fold on marginal hands when bet against on limit games, (consider holding AA and getting sucked out). Play AA hard regardless.

some will call their marginal hands and will suckout. Your AA is dead to a straight and what can you do. Look back and check raise that AA?

it is impossible to play AA hard in limit... ppl will call with whatever 2 cards they have.

position is obsolete in limit poker
