I’ve been playing poker now for about five years, I have played cards my entire life starting with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various types 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 wagering and even though I liked to call it skill, it was really difficult to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was over joyed to accept I was having a long-term run of luck.

Then came Poker, or more importantly Holdem Poker, made popular by a group of Texas card gamblers in the 60’s and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is totally the new black, it can be uber cool with many of the world’s leading super 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 combined into one for each single player.

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

Perhaps I should not obtain so worked up about this, after all the more men and women who struggle with the delicate tactics and methods required for succeeding regularly at Holdem, the far better it is for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to look at all of the obtainable details about why placement is so crucial, why ought to we bother? We really should just be happy there is another fish at the table!

It is true, we must not encourage laziness with guidance and support. Even so, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so high, except when you notice a gambler struggling, you guide them, offer them a few advice, ultimately showing them a method to love, like and appreciate 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 grasped the subtleties of wagering position. Assist them to grow their respect for the casino game. Naturally, do not attempt to try this one in your community betting house, the sharks will not appreciate you instructing their meal how to swim!
