I’ve been betting 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 styles of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head casino game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were wagering and even though I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was happy to accept I was having a protracted run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or more importantly Hold em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the 60’s and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is totally the new black, it really is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s leading celebrities racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days 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 popularity, with so quite a few Tv programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with high quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are individuals 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 more folks who have difficulty with the subtle tactics and strategies needed for succeeding regularly at Hold’em, the much better it is for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they can not be troubled to read all of the obtainable facts about why position is so crucial, why ought to we bother? We ought to just be happy there’s an additional fish at the table!
It’s true, we really should not encourage idleness with advice and help. Nevertheless, I liken this to a helpful casino game of football. Granted the stakes aren’t so high, but when you observe a player struggling, you support them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a method to enjoy, like and be thankful for the casino game as much as you. I am calling on all house players to do the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the subtleties of playing position. Assist them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, don’t attempt to try this one in your nearby casino, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their lunch how to swim!
