One thing that led me to play poker, and because I like almost all kinds of games where a dispute and where the entertainment in the game, and the further it gets any interesting game and the chance to win money in a pleasant thing as the game is.

My ex did it! He played in a weekly friends game that I started out just watching and drinking with with them. Then one night they were a man down so I filled in. I guess I soaked it up pretty well because I beat them all that night and I've been playing ever since.

Apart from a long family history of the game.
On-line poker came about after I was bored due to being on works comp.
I joined up here on cardschat not long after that.

I already enjoyed strategy games, it was much better to combine two things I enjoyed strategy and gambling, and poker to me is the closest thing to chess with cards.

I was a blackjack player and got tired of the cigarette smoke.. poker on tv looked fun, so I thought I'd go online and learn how to play.

One thing that led me to play poker is my daughter played it. She placed in top 27 to satellite into a $1000 freeroll, so I played long enough that week to get invited to the same tournament by also placing in the top 27 out of 1100 players.

A deep passion for the game was definitely the primary motivating factor. But a close 2nd was being able to work where I want and when I want.

I started playing because my boyfriend played all the time and I thought it would give us something to do in common.
