I started to play poker in 2008. Many of those poker rooms are now gone. Among them famous Absolute Poker, bodog, Cake etc. I was registered at almost all poker rooms and played mainly freerolls. I remember my first real money tourny was at Betandwin.

Mine was party poker in 1998. But at the time I was downloading every poker site I could. I played Stars. Tilt, 888, I just can't remember them all. At the time a lot of sites were giving away $10-$50 or better just to join. And I've watched many close down. It always amazed me how many players Stars had.

Yea those were the good days and the fish were everywher The first sit for me was UB. 50.00 just to register. Soon realized there was plenty of action on all the sites and downloaded as many as possible. Definitely saved money on gas. 50 miles to the closest live game and i was doing that 3 and 4 times a week.;)

Probably pokerchamps. This was many years ago, probably 2003 or 2004. I remember feeling jipped because I was promised a matching amount of $$$ and I thought they would just give me $100 if I put in $100. Now I know better, that is not how poker bonuses work but back then I was seriously pissed! After that I didn't play much online poker again until 2013.

$50 deposit to Full Tile Poker in 2009.

Their shameful shenanigans aside, I do miss the amount of traffic and variety of games they had. I continue to hope that a site like Poke Stars is able to get back in play in the US soon.

Mine began with Lock Poker. What a learning experience that became.
