Poker position importance: why do some players ignore it completely?
a while back, i used to treat roulette the same way, thinking every spin was its own shot at glory and not sweating the little edges or bad bets stacking up. realized later those tiny leaks mattered more than i wanted to admit, especially after a rough stretch where i kept buying back in without really knowing why i was losing. for poker, position is just another one of those slow-leak spots. folks ignore it because in the moment, the itch to play beats the plan. it took tracking losses before i cared about plugging those gaps. most don’t notice until the leaks drain their stack.
