When are You Going to Understand that Hold em Poker is All About Seating!
I have 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 basic 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 playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was extremely tough to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was happy to accept I was having an extended run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Holdem 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 experienced. Poker is absolutely the new black, it is ultra awesome with many of the world’s leading celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels nowadays and you are able 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 each single player.
So with all of this fresh discovered popularity, with so numerous Tv shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with high quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are people going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not get so worked up about this, after all the a lot more persons who wrestle with the delicate tactics and strategies needed for winning regularly at Texas hold em, the much better it is for everyone else, right? I mean, if they can’t be bothered to look at all of the accessible info about why position is so critical, why ought to we bother? We really should just be happy there’s an additional fish at the table!
It’s true, we need to not encourage idleness with advice and assist. On the other hand, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Naturally the stakes are not so high, except when you see a player struggling, you aid them, provide them some advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, really like and be grateful for the game as much as you. I’m calling on all home players to do the same 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 nearby gambling house, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their lunch how to swim!
