I have been betting poker now for about 5 years, I have wagered 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 basic random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head casino game. I used to always win, whatever casino game we were betting and even though I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to justify considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a long run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Holdem Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card players in the 60’s and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is totally the new black, it is ultra awesome with many of the world’s leading celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels nowadays and you can not escape from poker, and of course there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each individual player.
So with all of this fresh discovered popularity, with so numerous Tv programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are folks going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not obtain so worked up about this, after all the much more folks who struggle with the delicate tactics and methods needed for succeeding consistently at Hold em, the better it truly is for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to read all of the readily available facts about why location is so essential, why really should we bother? We should just be happy there’s another fish at the table!
It’s true, we must not encourage inactivity with advice and assist. Even so, I liken this to a friendly game of football. Naturally the levels aren’t so good, but when you notice a gambler having difficulties, you guide them, provide them several advice, ultimately showing them a method to like, love and appreciate the game as much as you. I am calling on all house gamblers to do the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Support them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, don’t attempt to try this one in your community casino, the sharks will not appreciate you teaching their meal how to swim!
