If you have been into online poker a long time then you have seen a revolution behind it.
Some ideas to get you started:
What is the first poker site you played at, How much did it effect what you know today, and How long did you stay, what was the experience like?

Mine was at partypoker for play chips I started and was 11, 13 years ago, lol, I was not fully aware of what mattered, to have good graphics, it looked cool to me but i didnt know good yet. back then it was ppl sitting at a table (idk if they still are). I went on from there to play pokerstars and FTP. i worked my way up in chips and would play 40k or fold tables haha it was cool i stumbled upon this table and they would block off the rest of the ppl from joining, and have rules set for the table and if u broke them ev1 would sit out.. cool ass concept.
and it was called 40k or fold. i learned how to do flips from that and what would and wouldnt win, i wouldnt take those experiences or memories back for the world.

watching tv - playing at NZ masters games, Tennis and decided I could play poker at Dunedin Casino.
So first on line poker stars, just to learn and first live game at Casino tournament - not many entries, only 20+ and finished 4th which made me happy as the other 3 ahead all played regularly at casinos in Christchurch or Dunedin.

Bug had bitten!!!!

I think that my first online poker room I played at was Minted Poker in 2009. and I think that I got a few cents in the first tournament.But,I didn't play much there.

Dang this is a tough question for me is because my first poker site was Lock Poker. I put in $300 dollars and ran that up to $1000 play a ton of sit and go and tournaments. obviously that did not pan out for nothing becaue the site screwed everyone and ran off with the money. Boy legalized poker in America. It is just so frustrating.

My experience with poker was at party poker, I did not play poker, I played many tournament dinhiro fictitious, then went into stars-fulltilt-Titan Poker -Carbon Poker, finally had a poker room, it was to create a account and play with the loyalty of time was in some areas, today's game in less than poker sites, I do not regret anything, quite the contrary, I learned a lot in poker, I met many people, and it made many friends.

I think you started the wrong way, lying. As a minor you were supposed to be in school not playing poker. I hope you do find your way, poker should be fun after you fulfill basic society requirements. :eek:

Id have to assume that was a joke.

Mine was Pokertropolis back before UB or PS were even being considered. Party Poker was getting big.
