When are You Going to Understand that Texas Hold’em Poker is About Seating!
I’ve been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I have wagered 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 general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so gracefully called, card on head game. I used to often win, whatever game we were playing and although I liked to call it skill, it was incredibly difficult to warrant thinking about the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having an extended run of luck.
Then came Poker, or much more importantly Holdem Poker, made popular by a group of Texas card players in the sixties and since grown into one of the largest card phenomena ever witnessed. Poker is absolutely the new black, it’s super cool with many of the world’s top super stars racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick scan through the TV channels these days and you are able to not escape from poker, and obviously there is the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each and every single gambler.
So with all of this fresh found recognition, with so quite a few Television shows dedicated to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the top minds on poker, when are folks going to understand that this game is all about position!?
Perhaps I should not acquire so worked up about this, after all the much more folks who struggle with the subtle tactics and methods needed for succeeding regularly at Texas hold’em, the far better it’s for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they cannot be troubled to look at all of the available data about why location is so significant, why need to we bother? We ought to just be glad there is another fish at the table!
It’s true, we must not encourage idleness with advice and aid. On the other hand, I liken this to a friendly casino game of football. Naturally the stakes aren’t so great, except when you see a player struggling, you assist them, offer them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to enjoy, love and be thankful for the game as much as you. I’m calling on all home players to do the same thing with their poker buddies who have not quite grasped the subtleties of playing position. Help them to grow their respect for the casino game. Obviously, don’t attempt to try this one in your community gambling establishment, the sharks won’t appreciate you instructing their lunch how to swim!
