Position (poker)

Also: IP, OOP

Poker term

The edge from acting later, since seat order decides how much you know.

If opponents act first, you see what they do before deciding. So the same hand can be played wider from later seats. In 6-max, the range you can play grows almost 3 times from UTG (about 16%) to BTN (about 47%).

Related terms

  • IP (poker)Being able to act after your opponent.
  • OOP (poker)Having to act before your opponent.
  • BTN (poker)The button seat, which always acts last after the flop.
