Positionality
Positionality is a hybrid term that combines the elements of table personality with position. During a game of poker, for each seat available, a player should have a different positionality for each position on the table.
Under the gun, your positionality should be tight, you should only be making raises here or folding. Limping here is a weak play and will adversely affect how you’re seen at the table.
Your middle position positionality should be slightly looser, you can call more here, and make raises more liberally with more hands as long as no one has raised in front of you. Your middle position positionality should be a merger of the table personalities of the tight aggressive and the loose passive poker player. You have a lot more options here than you do in other positions.
Your late position positionality should be a very liberal personality. You should be able to make raises here for steals, reraise weak raises from earlier position players and generally call with a very wide range of hands.
Finally you have your big blind and small blind positionalities. These will vary from player to player and are highly dependent on reads that are made on the other palyers. If you see a cut-off or button player trying to steal a lot, you may play these positons aggressively. On the other hand, if you’re playing with a tight table, you may opt to be tight in this position as well.
If you take all of the positionalities and put them together, you can get a good idea of how a poker online player plays overall and get a better idea of how to classify them (as well as yourself) in terms of overall table personality. This is why we continually stress that position is very, very important.
