I’ve been wagering poker now for about five years, I’ve played 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 casino game. I used to usually win, whatever game we were playing and even though I liked to call it skill, it was very difficult to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were wagering, so I was over joyed to accept I was having an extended run of good fortune.

Then came Poker, or far more importantly Texas hold em Poker, made famous by a bunch of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever seen. Poker is absolutely the new black, it’s uber awesome with numerous of the world’s top celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels nowadays and it is possible to not escape from poker, and certainly there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each individual gambler.

So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so quite a few Tv shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with high quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are people going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?

Perhaps I must not acquire so worked up about this, after all the far more persons who wrestle with the subtle techniques and strategies required for winning regularly at Texas hold em, the much better it can be for everyone else, appropriate? I mean, if they cannot be bothered to read all of the offered data about why placement is so critical, why really should we bother? We need to just be happy there’s one more fish at the table!

It’s true, we need to not reward procrastination with advice and guide. On the other hand, I liken this to a friendly game of football. Naturally the stakes are not so high, except when you see a player struggling, you help them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, love and be grateful for the game as much as you. I am asking all house gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the subtleties of playing position. Assist them to grow their respect for the casino game. Needless to say, do not attempt to try this one in your community gambling establishment, the sharks will not appreciate you teaching their supper how to swim!
