I’ve been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I have bet cards my entire life starting with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various types of Brag and basic random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so beautifully called, card on head game. I used to always win, whatever game we were betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was very tough to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a long run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or a lot more importantly Texas hold em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is totally the new black, it can be ultra cool with numerous of the world’s leading celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick through the TV channels these days and you’ll be able to not escape from poker, and of course there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each individual gambler.
So with all of this fresh discovered popularity, with so a lot of Tv programmes dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with 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 ought to not receive so worked up about this, after all the much more men and women who have difficulty with the subtle tactics and methods needed for winning consistently at Hold’em, the much better it really is for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they can not be bothered to look at all of the readily available details about why location is so critical, why must we bother? We ought to just be happy there is an additional fish at the table!
It is true, we must not encourage procrastination with guidance and aid. Nonetheless, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the stakes are not so good, but when you observe a gambler having difficulties, you guide them, offer them some advice, ultimately showing them a way to get pleasure from, like and be grateful for the game as much as you. I am asking all home gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker friends who haven’t quite grasped the nuances of betting position. Assist them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, don’t attempt to try this one in your nearby gambling den, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you teaching their meal how to swim!
