I have been betting poker now for about 5 years, I have bet 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 gracefully called, card on head casino game. I used to usually win, whatever casino game we were wagering and although I liked to call it skill, it was quite tough to justify thinking about the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was over joyed to accept I was having an extended run of good fortune.

Then came Poker, or a lot more importantly Hold’em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the 60’s and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever seen. Poker is totally the new black, it truly is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s leading celebs 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 certainly there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for every single gambler.

So with all of this fresh discovered popularity, with so several Tv shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with high quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are individuals going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?

Perhaps I really should not receive so worked up about this, after all the far more men and women who struggle with the delicate tactics and methods required for winning consistently at Texas hold em, the much better it truly is for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they cannot be troubled to read all of the readily available details about why placement is so essential, why must we bother?

It is true, we should not reward laziness with guidance and support. However, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the levels are not so superior, but when you observe a player having difficulties, you assist them, offer them several advice, ultimately showing them a way to enjoy, like and be grateful for the game as much as you. I am calling on all house players to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of wagering position. Guide them to grow their respect for the game. Naturally, don’t attempt to try this one in your neighborhood gambling establishment, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their lunch how to swim!
