I’ve been playing poker now for about five years, I’ve wagered 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 general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head game. I used to always win, whatever game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was very tough to justify considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was pleased to accept I was having a protracted run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Hold em Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card players in the sixties and since grown into one of the biggest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it truly is super cool with several of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick through 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 rolled into one for each individual gambler.
So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so quite a few Tv programmes dedicated 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 casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not receive so worked up about this, after all the additional persons who have difficulty with the subtle tactics and approaches necessary for winning regularly at Texas hold’em, the far better it truly is for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to look at all of the available data about why placement is so crucial, why need to we bother? We really should just be glad there’s one more fish at the table!
It’s true, we need to not reward laziness with advice and aid. Even so, I liken this to a welcoming game of football. Granted the stakes are not so good, except when you observe a gambler struggling, you help them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to get pleasure from, love and be thankful for the casino game as much as you. I’m askin all home gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker buddies who haven’t quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Assist them to grow their respect for the casino game. Certainly, do not attempt to try this one in your nearby gambling house, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you teaching their meal how to swim!
