Button (BTN)

Position Strength

The best seat in poker. You act LAST on every post-flop street, giving you maximum information before making decisions. You see everything your opponents do before you act.

Play a wider range of hands profitably from the button.
Steal the blinds frequently when folded to you.
Use your position to control pot size.
You can profitably call with speculative hands (suited connectors, small pairs).

Example: From the button, you can profitably call with hands like 7♠8♠ because you'll have position through the entire hand.
