My dad used to have poker nights with his buddies, they would all sit around smoking stogies and drinking beer and i always wanted to get in on the fun!
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.
the desire was simple to learn to play this game after has learned rules and sense I have understood that about poker I know nothing and I like to learn more and more
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.
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.
