I started playing cards when I was like, 3-4 years old.
I had older cousins that played various games.
I learned the Fundamentals of Poker Hand Rankings at 4 yrs.old
Playing Yahtzee!! of all things..but true!
Started with Go Fish! and WAR and Solitaire.
Then Crazy 8's and Rummy, and
blackjack around 6-7yrs. old
Then Cribbage, and Backgammon, Chess around 10-12.
Played Rummoli, (an ante Game) and 5 Card-Draw Poker around that time too, sitting in for my Uncle's
at games on Bathroom break or get more whiskey or Beer @ the Store.
Learned Spades and Hearts, 31, 99, and Pass the Ace at 14.
10 months since I started Playing Hold'em online and expanded my variations from there to FL/NL Omaha Hi.
Now I play both Limit & NL Hold'em, and some H.O.R.S.E.
Limit Hold'em is a different 'Beast' though.
