I have been betting poker now for about 5 years, I’ve bet cards my entire life starting 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 eloquently called, card on head game. I used to always win, whatever casino game we were betting and although I liked to call it skill, it was extremely hard to warrant considering the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was happy to accept I was having a prolonged run of good fortune.

Then came Poker, or more importantly Hold’em Poker, made popular by a bunch of Texas card players in the 1960’s and since developed into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it truly is ultra awesome with numerous of the world’s top celebrities racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan via the TV channels nowadays and you are able to not escape from poker, and naturally there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all combined into one for each and every single player.

So with all of this fresh found popularity, with so many Television shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves loaded 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 acquire so worked up about this, after all the far more folks who have difficulty with the subtle techniques and strategies necessary for succeeding consistently at Hold em, the far better it can be for everyone else, correct? I mean, if they can not be bothered to read all of the offered data about why location is so essential, why must we bother? We must just be glad there is one more fish at the table!

It’s true, we must not reward laziness with advice and help. Even so, I liken this to a welcoming casino game of football. Granted the levels aren’t so great, but when you notice a player struggling, you aid them, offer them a number of 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 house players to do the same thing with their poker buddies who haven’t quite got a handle on the nuances of betting position. Assist them to grow their respect for the game. Needless to say, do not attempt to try this one in your local gambling establishment, the sharks will not take pleasure in you instructing their meal how to swim!
