When will You Going to Learn that Texas Hold em Poker is All About Seating!
Monday, 10. January 2011
I have been wagering poker now for about five years, I’ve bet cards my entire life beginning 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 casino game. I used to often win, whatever casino game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were playing, so I was pleased to accept I was having a long run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much 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 seen. Poker is absolutely the new black, it really is uber cool with quite a few of the world’s leading super stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels nowadays and you can not escape from poker, and obviously there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for every individual gambler.
So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so quite a few Tv shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the foremost minds on poker, when are folks going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I really should not receive so worked up about this, after all the far more men and women who struggle with the subtle techniques and methods required for succeeding consistently at Hold’em, the far better it’s for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they cannot be bothered to read all of the obtainable facts about why placement is so important, why need to we bother? We must just be glad there’s one more fish at the table!
It’s true, we should not reward procrastination with advice and help. Nonetheless, I liken this to a helpful casino game of football. Granted the stakes are not so high, except when you notice a player having difficulties, you support them, provide them several advice, ultimately showing them a way to love, really like and appreciate the casino game as much as you. I am askin all home gamblers to do exactly the same thing with their poker friends who have not quite grasped the nuances of betting position. Assist them to grow their respect for the game. Needless to say, don’t attempt to try this one in your local betting house, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their meal how to swim!
