Being “on the button” in poker means you’re sitting in the dealer position for that hand. It’s the most powerful and profitable seat at the table, because you get to act last on every postflop street—giving you maximum information before making decisions.
The button rotates clockwise after each hand so that every player takes turns in this spot. The position is marked by a dealer button (a small disc), which moves around the table to keep the game fair and balanced.
Players on the button can steal blinds, control pot size, and play a wider range of hands—all thanks to their positional advantage.
