Before you should ask questions on this board, I would STRONGLY Recommend that you get your hands on a book on Poker BASICS, and study study study.Any suggestion on different situations from any one of us in this forum will probably just go over your head.
That is my honest suggestion for you to follow.

I remember sitting with my uncles and cousins watching TV and watching Phil Ivey play, and then I started to get interested until I got to school and played with my friends, it happened about 10 years ago, I was 14 years.

I learned my rules with my family and then played on the no-limit play money tables at partypoker for what seemed like years. :)

I think, that was about 9-10 years ago. I was watching many poker shows on our tv and in one moment i wanted to try to play poker too. PartyPoker was my first poker room and the feelings in that moment was amazing.

I started playing live 2/5 with a bunch of over aggressive retired guys in Northern California. My first month was my best month, grossing a little over 10k.

Once upon a time, when I had much free time, I tried.
I think that was about 7-8 years ago.
And now I keep playing everyday.

I started playing with my friends several years ago just for fun. Then I decided to become a better player and started read a lot and train to become an experienced one. And after this I came to online tournaments

Aunt started schooling me when I was in single digits and a grew up in a town where there wasn't much else to do but goto the local bar and play real money games under the table.

Moved to the city and never looked back. Casino/Homegame reg not much of an online player, not the same, but still at least one MTT a day

I was never interested in poker until i stumbled upon JCarver (Jason Somerville) stream on Twitch. The game turned out to be pretty interesting, and after some i decided to give it a try on poker stars with play money. But playing poker with play money is definitely not the same when real money involved; but then i discovered freeroll tournaments. So far i've been playing the latter for about half a year with not so good results (as i'm too lazy to spend enough time on studying).

A long time 10 years ago I saw how players play poker, I liked the game and I
began to learn how to play, but in the beginning I played free chips and then learned a lot in the poker game and started playing for money, now in my free time I play freerolls and tournaments and in cash games and try to win money!
