I have been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I’ve bet 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 beautifully called, card on head game. I used to always win, whatever casino game we were betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was extremely hard to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were wagering, so I was happy to accept I was having an extended run of luck.

Then came Poker, or additional importantly Hold’em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the 60’s and since grown into one of the biggest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is totally the new black, it truly is super cool with quite a few of the world’s top super stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels these days and it is possible to not escape from poker, and of course there’s the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for every single player.

So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so a lot of Tv programmes dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with high 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 obtain so worked up about this, after all the much more people who struggle with the subtle techniques and strategies needed for winning consistently at Holdem, the far better it really is for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they can not be troubled to look at all of the available info about why location is so essential, why really should we bother? We should just be glad there’s one more fish at the table!

It is true, we must not reward inactivity with advice and support. Even so, I liken this to a welcoming game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so great, except when you notice a player struggling, you guide them, offer them several advice, ultimately showing them a method to like, love and appreciate the game as much as you. I’m asking all house players to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the nuances of betting position. Assist them to grow their respect for the game. Certainly, do not attempt to try this one in your neighborhood gambling den, the sharks won’t appreciate you teaching their meal how to swim!
