I have been betting 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 gracefully called, card on head casino game. I used to usually win, whatever game we were betting and even though I liked to call it skill, it was extremely hard to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was happy to accept I was having a prolonged run of luck.
Then came Poker, or more importantly Holdem Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card players in the sixties and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it really is ultra awesome with quite a few of the world’s top stars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels these days and you are able to not escape from poker, and certainly there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each single player.
So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so several Television programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are men and women going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I ought to not have so worked up about this, after all the far more people who struggle with the subtle techniques and strategies required for succeeding consistently at Hold em, the better it’s for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can not be bothered to look at all of the available information about why position is so important, why should we bother? We need to just be happy there’s one more fish at the table!
It’s true, we should not reward procrastination with guidance and support. On the other hand, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the levels are not so high, but when you observe a player having difficulties, you guide them, offer them a few advice, ultimately showing them a method to love, love and be thankful for the game as much as you. I am askin all home gamblers to do the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite grasped the subtleties of playing position. Support them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, do not attempt to try this one in your community gambling establishment, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their supper how to swim!
