I’ve been betting poker now for about five years, I’ve wagered 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 basic random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so beautifully called, card on head casino game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were betting and even though I liked to call it skill, it was very difficult to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having a prolonged run of luck.
Then came Poker, or additional importantly Texas holdem Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s top stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick through the TV channels nowadays and it is possible to not escape from poker, and obviously there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each and every single player.
So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so quite a few Tv shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are folks going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I must not obtain so worked up about this, after all the far more people who struggle with the subtle tactics and strategies necessary for succeeding regularly at Texas hold’em, the far better it’s for everyone else, right? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to read all of the obtainable details about why placement is so crucial, why really should we bother? We should just be happy there is one more fish at the table!
It is true, we must not reward procrastination with guidance and guide. Even so, I liken this to a friendly game of football. Naturally the levels are not so great, except when you see a player struggling, you help them, offer them several advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, like and be grateful for the game as much as you. I am askin all house players to do the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Assist them to grow their respect for the game. Certainly, don’t attempt to try this one in your community gambling house, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their lunch how to swim!
