    What is Position in poker?

    Position is a cornerstone of poker strategy, granting significant leverage. Players in 'late position' (LP) act after most opponents, allowing them to gather more information before making decisions. Conversely, 'early position' (EP) players must act first, operating with less information. This informational asymmetry dramatically influences optimal hand ranges; players generally open a much wider, weaker range from late position than from early position.
