When are You Going to Understand that Holdem Poker is All About Seating!
I’ve been wagering poker now for about five years, I have bet cards my entire life beginning with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various forms of Brag and basic 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 betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was really difficult to justify considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having a long-term run of good fortune.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Texas hold’em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it can be super cool with numerous of the world’s top celebs racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels these days and you are able to not escape from poker, and certainly there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each and every individual gambler.
So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so a lot of 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 men and women going to learn that this casino game is all about position!?
Perhaps I ought to not get so worked up about this, after all the much more people who have difficulty with the delicate techniques and methods necessary for succeeding regularly at Hold em, the far better it really is for everyone else, right? I mean, if they cannot be troubled to look at all of the readily available data about why position is so essential, why should we bother? We must just be happy there’s another fish at the table!
It is true, we must not encourage procrastination with advice and aid. Nevertheless, I liken this to a welcoming game of football. Naturally the levels aren’t so great, but when you observe a player struggling, you assist them, provide them some advice, ultimately showing them a way to like, like and be grateful for the casino game as much as you. I’m asking all home players to do the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of playing position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Naturally, do not attempt to try this one in your nearby casino, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you instructing their meal how to swim!
