How to Use Position to Your Greatest Advantage

Susie Isaacs discussed the importance of position in poker with Mike Caro prior to the California Poker Players Conference in October.  You can hear her entire interview at http://www.2007cppc.com/#isaacs

One of the mistakes that both experienced and new poker players make is playing like a robot.  They will take any two paints like a King/Queen, Jack/King, or Jack/Queen and play it the same from any position.  That is not the way to play winning poker.  There are times in early position you should dumb the hand, there are times from the middle position you may want to call or open with a raise, and there are times from late position you may want to raise or re-raise depending on who you are playing against.
