I have been playing poker now for about 5 years, I have 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 really tough to justify considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was pleased to accept I was having a protracted run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or additional importantly Hold’em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the 60’s and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever seen. 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 flick through the TV channels nowadays and it is possible to not escape from poker, and needless to say there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each individual player.
So with all of this new found popularity, with so quite a few Television shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with high quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are men and women going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I must not obtain so worked up about this, after all the far more men and women who have difficulty with the delicate tactics and strategies needed for succeeding consistently at Holdem, the better it truly is for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to look at all of the available information about why location is so essential, why should we bother? We should just be glad there is another fish at the table!
It’s true, we really should not reward laziness with guidance and assist. Nonetheless, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so good, but when you see a gambler struggling, you assist them, offer them some advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, really like and be thankful for the game as much as you. I am askin all home gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the nuances of wagering position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Needless to say, don’t attempt to try this one in your community casino, the sharks will not appreciate you teaching their lunch how to swim!
