I have been wagering poker now for about five 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 forms 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 game we were wagering and even though I liked to call it skill, it was very difficult to justify considering the randomness of the games we were wagering, so I was happy to accept I was having a long-term run of luck.

Then came Poker, or a lot more importantly Texas hold em Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is totally the new black, it truly is ultra cool with a lot of of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels these days and you can 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 each and every individual player.

So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so many Television shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are individuals going to understand that this game is all about position!?

Perhaps I ought to not get so worked up about this, after all the more persons who wrestle with the subtle tactics and methods required for winning regularly at Texas holdem, the far better it truly is for everyone else, right? I mean, if they cannot be bothered to look at all of the obtainable information about why placement is so crucial, why need to we bother? We ought to just be happy there’s one more fish at the table!

It is true, we must not encourage inactivity with advice and help. Nevertheless, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Granted the levels are not so good, but when you notice a gambler struggling, you assist them, offer them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a method to get pleasure from, like and appreciate the game as much as you. I am asking all house players to do exactly the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the nuances of betting position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Certainly, don’t attempt to try this one in your local betting house, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their lunch how to swim!
