I’ve been playing 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 styles of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head game. I used to usually win, whatever game we were betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was quite difficult to warrant 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 popular by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since grown into one of the biggest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it really is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s top celebrities racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels these days and it is possible to not escape from poker, and needless to say there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for every single gambler.
So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so a lot of Television shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are folks going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I ought to not receive so worked up about this, after all the additional individuals who have difficulty with the subtle techniques and strategies necessary for winning consistently at Hold’em, the much better it can be for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to look at all of the readily available information about why location is so significant, why really should we bother? We ought to just be glad there is another fish at the table!
It’s true, we must not encourage procrastination with guidance and support. Nonetheless, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so superior, except when you observe a gambler struggling, you support them, offer them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to get pleasure from, really like and be grateful for the game as much as you. I am calling on all house gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of playing position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Needless to say, don’t attempt to try this one in your nearby gambling house, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their supper how to swim!
