Hold'em is a fixed position game

Position refers to the order in which players act in a round of betting. During a Hold'em hand, your position does not change. The small blind always acts first, the
big blind second, the player to the left of the big blind next, and so on. In stud games, position changes as the cards are dealt since the player with the highest exposed cards acts first. Position is important because in all forms of poker, it is advantageous to act last in a round of betting. Your position at the start of a hand of Hold'em stays the same for all four rounds of betting, conferring either a permanent
advantage or disadvantage.
