I’ve been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I’ve bet 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 eloquently called, card on head game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was incredibly difficult to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was over joyed to accept I was having an extended run of luck.
Then came Poker, or additional importantly Hold em Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is totally the new black, it really is super awesome with many of the world’s leading superstars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels these days and it is possible to not escape from poker, and needless to say there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each and every individual gambler.
So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so a lot of Television programmes dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with high quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are people going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I really should not acquire so worked up about this, after all the much more folks who struggle with the delicate tactics and approaches necessary for succeeding regularly at Hold’em, the better it is for everyone else, right? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to look at all of the offered details about why position is so essential, why need to we bother? We should just be glad there’s one more fish at the table!
It is true, we ought to not encourage laziness with advice and aid. Nevertheless, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the stakes are not so superior, except when you see a gambler struggling, you support them, offer them a few advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, really like and be thankful for the casino game as much as you. I am calling on all home players to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Certainly, don’t attempt to try this one in your community gambling house, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you teaching their meal how to swim!
