Poker Never play in 10 position

    Last night I went to a poker tournament in a casino. Everything was fine until I was placed in the 10th position. At first I did not take any notice because I had never sat in that position before. I entered 1 hour from the end of record tadío, this I like because I avoid the recreational that go with banking and make unlimited rebuys. All good and I managed to get to the last break next to the addon. From one moment to the next, I found myself a cheapleader at a table.

    All good until the decisive hand. I'm in UTG + 2, I'm 6-6, the blinds are in 3k / 6k against 500, I open 12k, and I'm SB 3 to 24k, I go allin and I instantly flip my pair, in that the Dealer covers my cards in a quick move ,

    I wonder what happened, it turns out that UTG + 1 had limped me, I was very sorry, to give you an idea, being in position 10 I am to the right of the Dealer, and UTG + 1 is on your left, NOT HAVE SEEN, my action was I think the best taking into account Heads Up, for this UTG + 1, I had not seen my cards, he folded his pair of 8, I consider that in Heads UP I have about 72%, of having seen limpear to UTG +1 obviously folded with SB's raise. The rest is history, 6-6 vs Q-A, his Q comes out on the turn.

    Moral, be very careful to sit in this position, I am regular cash, and I always feel in position 5, 6, 7 or one where I have the general vision of all. In this case, the Dealer capped the player UTG + 1 and did not realize that this was still in play. Greetings to all, there is my argument for action, what do you think?

    10 and I are both with blind spots, and many choose these seats because of the extra room next to the dealer, but must be vigilant in leaning forward at times.

    This is yet another reason I prefer cash games. I get a choice of seats sometimes, and occasionally can choose my table.
