I have been playing poker now for about 5 years, I’ve played 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 eloquently called, card on head game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having a prolonged run of good fortune.

Then came Poker, or additional importantly Hold em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card players in the sixties and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever seen. Poker is absolutely the new black, it’s ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s top superstars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels these days and you’ll be able to not escape from poker, and certainly there’s the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each and every single player.

So with all of this fresh discovered popularity, with so numerous Television programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are folks going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?

Perhaps I must not have so worked up about this, after all the far more individuals who wrestle with the subtle techniques and approaches necessary for winning consistently at Texas holdem, the far better it really is for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they can not be troubled to read all of the obtainable information about why location is so crucial, why need to we bother? We must just be happy there’s an additional fish at the table!

It is true, we should not encourage laziness with advice and help. However, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Naturally the stakes aren’t so good, but when you see a gambler having difficulties, you guide them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to enjoy, love and be thankful for the game as much as you. I’m asking all house gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of wagering position. Aid them to grow their respect for the casino game. Of course, don’t attempt to try this one in your neighborhood betting house, the sharks will not take pleasure in you teaching their supper how to swim!
