I have been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I’ve wagered cards my entire life beginning 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 game. I used to always win, whatever game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was really hard to justify thinking about the randomness of the games we were wagering, so I was happy to accept I was having a long-term run of luck.

Then came Poker, or additional importantly Texas hold em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the 1960’s and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever seen. Poker is totally the new black, it is uber cool with numerous of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days and you’ll be able to not escape from poker, and certainly there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each and every single player.

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

Perhaps I really should not acquire so worked up about this, after all the a lot more people who struggle with the delicate tactics and methods required for winning regularly at Texas holdem, the much better it really is for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can not be troubled to look at all of the obtainable details about why placement is so essential, why ought to we bother? We must just be happy there’s one more fish at the table!

It is true, we should not encourage laziness with guidance and assist. On the other hand, I liken this to a helpful game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so high, but when you see a gambler having difficulties, you assist them, offer them several advice, ultimately showing them a method to like, love and appreciate the game as much as you. I am calling on all home gamblers to do the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite got a handle on the nuances of wagering position. Aid them to grow their respect for the casino game. Naturally, do not attempt to try this one in your nearby casino, the sharks will not appreciate you teaching their meal how to swim!
