When are You Going to Learn that Texas Hold em Poker is All About Position!
I’ve been wagering poker now for about five years, I have wagered cards my entire life starting 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 eloquently called, card on head casino game. I used to always win, whatever casino game we were wagering and although I liked to call it skill, it was really difficult to justify considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a protracted run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Texas hold’em Poker, made popular by a group of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is totally the new black, it really is super cool with many of the world’s top super stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick through the TV channels nowadays and you are able to not escape from poker, and of course there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for every single gambler.
So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so many Television shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are men and women going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I need to not get so worked up about this, after all the much more men and women who struggle with the subtle techniques and methods necessary for succeeding consistently at Hold em, the better it can be for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they cannot be bothered to read all of the obtainable data about why location is so essential, why ought to we bother? We need to just be happy there is one more fish at the table!
It is true, we really should not encourage laziness with advice and support. Nonetheless, I liken this to a welcoming casino game of football. Naturally the levels aren’t so high, except when you observe a gambler having difficulties, you support them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a method to love, really like and appreciate the casino game as much as you. I’m calling on all home gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker buddies who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of betting position. Guide them to grow their respect for the game. Naturally, don’t attempt to try this one in your community gambling house, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you teaching their supper how to swim!
