I’ve been wagering poker now for about five years, I’ve bet cards my entire life beginning with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various types of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so beautifully called, card on head casino game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were wagering and although I liked to call it skill, it was extremely hard to justify thinking about the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a long run of good fortune.

Then came Poker, or more importantly Texas holdem Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card players in the sixties and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever seen. Poker is absolutely the new black, it is uber cool with quite a few of the world’s leading celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days and you can not escape from poker, and needless to say there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each individual player.

So with all of this new found popularity, with so quite a few Television shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are individuals going to learn that this game is all about position!?

Perhaps I need to not obtain so worked up about this, after all the additional people who struggle with the delicate tactics and strategies necessary for winning consistently at Texas hold’em, the better it truly is for everyone else, right? I mean, if they cannot be troubled to read all of the accessible information about why location is so significant, why must we bother? We really should just be glad there is an additional fish at the table!

It is true, we really should not reward procrastination with guidance and aid. Nonetheless, I liken this to a helpful casino game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so high, but when you notice a gambler having difficulties, you guide them, provide them a few advice, ultimately showing them a method to enjoy, love and be thankful for the casino game as much as you. I am askin all house gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker friends who haven’t quite got a handle on the nuances of betting position. Assist them to grow their respect for the game. Naturally, don’t attempt to try this one in your nearby gambling house, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their lunch how to swim!
