Like in Poker, position in blackjack is really important as the game’s planning and tactics hugely depend on the opponents’ acts rather than on favorable combination of cards alone. The fact is that the last player to act is in an advantageous position as compared to the other players. The final hand of a round makes the position even more important as the last player to act can make strategic planning to win at the final table.
Players use different tactics. Many blackjack players just try to calculate in mind the whereabouts of the dealer chip at the final table by controlling the quantity of the players at the table and counting position of the dealer button for each particular hand. Depending on such calculations, players may act differently if they know exactly that they will be last to act at the final table. Of course, all the calculations need to be re-made in case the opponents get eliminated from the game in mid-position.
