I have been playing poker now for about five years, I have played cards my entire life beginning with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various forms of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head game. I used to often win, whatever game we were wagering and although I liked to call it skill, it was incredibly tough to justify considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a prolonged run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Texas holdem Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the sixties and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is totally the new black, it is ultra awesome with quite a few of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days and you’ll be able to not escape from poker, and certainly there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for every single player.
So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so quite a few Television shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with high quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are people going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not get so worked up about this, after all the a lot more individuals who wrestle with the subtle tactics and strategies necessary for succeeding consistently at Hold em, the better it is for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to look at all of the available information about why position is so essential, why need to we bother? We should just be glad there is one more fish at the table!
It is true, we ought to not encourage procrastination with guidance and assist. Nonetheless, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Granted the levels are not so great, but when you see a gambler struggling, you assist them, provide them a few advice, ultimately showing them a way to enjoy, really like and be thankful for the casino game as much as you. I’m calling on all house gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker buddies who haven’t quite grasped the nuances of betting position. Aid them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, do not attempt to try this one in your local gambling establishment, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you instructing their supper how to swim!
