I’ve been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I have bet cards my entire life beginning with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various types of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head game. I used to usually win, whatever game we were betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to justify thinking about the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was pleased to accept I was having a protracted run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Holdem Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever experienced. Poker is totally the new black, it really is uber cool with several of the world’s top super stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days and it is possible to not escape from poker, and certainly there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for every single gambler.
So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so a lot of Television shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are men and women going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not receive so worked up about this, after all the more individuals who wrestle with the delicate tactics and strategies required for succeeding consistently at Hold’em, the much better it’s for everyone else, right? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to look at all of the accessible data about why location is so critical, why must we bother? We should just be happy there is another fish at the table!
It’s true, we ought to not encourage inactivity with guidance and help. Nevertheless, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Naturally the stakes aren’t so great, except when you observe a player struggling, you help them, offer them a few advice, ultimately showing them a method to get pleasure from, really like and be thankful for the game as much as you. I am asking all home gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker buddies who haven’t quite got a handle on the nuances of playing position. Support them to grow their respect for the casino game. Needless to say, don’t attempt to try this one in your nearby gambling establishment, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their meal how to swim!
