I’ve been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I’ve 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 eloquently called, card on head game. I used to usually win, whatever casino game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was very hard to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were wagering, so I was pleased to accept I was having a long-term run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or a lot more importantly Texas hold’em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the sixties and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever experienced. Poker is totally the new black, it really is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels nowadays and you’ll be able to not escape from poker, and needless to say there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each individual player.
So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so quite a few Television programmes dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are persons going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I must not obtain so worked up about this, after all the additional folks who wrestle with the subtle techniques and strategies required for winning consistently at Texas hold em, the better it truly is for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to read all of the offered info about why position is so crucial, why must we bother? We should just be glad there is an additional fish at the table!
It is true, we must not encourage inactivity with advice and help. However, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Naturally the stakes are not so good, except when you notice a player struggling, you assist them, provide them a few advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, like and appreciate the game as much as you. I am asking all home gamblers to do the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Aid them to grow their respect for the casino game. Of course, don’t attempt to try this one in your neighborhood casino, the sharks will not take pleasure in you teaching their supper how to swim!
