Taking Advantage of Conservative Players in Poker
Seat position is important in the game of poker especially when you are sitting at the table with conservative players. If you understand where the conservative players are at the table relative to your position you can take advantage with more aggression. Conservative players at the poker tables are likely to only play when their hands are at least moderately strong.
The faster you realize the betting patterns of conservative players, the more easily you can semi-bluff or bluff your way to improving your stack of poker chips. For example, if you notice that there is a conservative player behind you betting aggressively, chances are he/she has good cards and you should only stay in the hand if you do as well.
On the flip side, if you have a conservative player only checking or passively calling smaller chip bets to catch cards then you have the green light to bet aggressively. If you do not notice these tendencies and simply play the cards as they are dealt to you without respect to your position, you are missing a great opportunity to make money.
One has a better chance of winning at poker if they keep up with poker strategies.
