Position

When you act in a betting round. Acting last (on the button) is the strongest position in poker — you see everyone's actions before you commit, control the size of the pot, and can play more hands profitably.

Example

On the button you can check behind with a draw and take a free card — the out-of-position player can never do that cleanly.
