When will You Going to Understand that Texas Hold em Poker is About Seating!
I have been playing poker now for about 5 years, I’ve wagered 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 basic random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so beautifully called, card on head game. I used to usually win, whatever game we were wagering and even though I liked to call it skill, it was extremely difficult to justify considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having a prolonged run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Texas hold’em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the 60’s and since grown into one of the biggest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it’s super cool with a lot of of the world’s top celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels nowadays and you can 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 individual player.
So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so quite a few Television shows devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are men and women going to learn that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I must not obtain so worked up about this, after all the a lot more people who have difficulty with the subtle tactics and approaches necessary for winning regularly at Hold’em, the far better it’s for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they can not be bothered to look at all of the available details about why location is so critical, why ought to we bother? We should just be happy there is an additional fish at the table!
It’s true, we should not encourage idleness with guidance and support. Nevertheless, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Granted the levels are not so good, but when you see a player having difficulties, you assist them, provide them several advice, ultimately showing them a way to like, like and be grateful for the casino game as much as you. I am calling on all home players to do the same thing with their poker buddies who haven’t quite got a handle on the subtleties of betting position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Naturally, don’t attempt to try this one in your community gambling den, the sharks will not take pleasure in you teaching their supper how to swim!
