The position at the poker table

The position of a player at Texas Hold'em is a measure for the amount of seats that are between the player and the current dealer. To determine the position at the table you should start at the dealer and count counter-clockwise.
The position of a player at the table depends on the position of the dealer button.
In order to determine your own position, you start at the dealer button and count the positions counter-clockwise.

• The dealer himself as well as the player to his right hand side are sitting in the late position.

• The next three players are sitting in the middle position.

• The following three seats are making up the early position.

• The table is rounded up by the two blinds.

In case there are only nine players at the table, the first of the early positions is left out. If there are eight players, the second early position is left out as well.
