I have been betting poker now for about 5 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 styles 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 betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was really hard to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was happy to accept I was having an extended run of luck.

Then came Poker, or more importantly Hold em Poker, made famous by a group of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever observed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it can be ultra awesome with several of the world’s leading stars racing to have their name associated with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels nowadays and it is possible to not escape from poker, and needless to say there is the fabled World Series of Poker, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for every individual gambler.

So with all of this new found popularity, with so numerous Tv programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded up with high quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are persons going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?

Perhaps I need to not obtain so worked up about this, after all the more persons who have difficulty with the subtle tactics and approaches required for succeeding consistently at Hold’em, the better it can be for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they cannot be bothered to look at all of the readily available data about why location is so crucial, why really should we bother? We really should just be glad there’s another fish at the table!

It is true, we ought to not encourage inactivity with guidance and support. Even so, I liken this to a friendly game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so good, except when you notice a gambler having difficulties, you aid them, offer them a few advice, ultimately showing them a method to love, like and be grateful for the casino game as much as you. I am askin all home gamblers to do a similar thing with their poker friends who have not quite got a handle on the subtleties of playing position. Support them to grow their respect for the game. Certainly, do not attempt to try this one in your local gambling establishment, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their supper how to swim!
