In my case, 2 years ago, I saw some tournament on internet and there was some enormous money involved, so I just wanted to see is it hard to play and could I get some money out of it. I didn't get much money, now I play micros and freerolls, and i find poker very interesting game, where you need to use your feeling, logic and sometimes you need luck.What about you?

Here in brazil it was not common to know card players or chess players as chess so I was always curious to learn poker and chess. With the advent of Facebook and with him several games I learned poker and chess. Since then, I am a regular player of these games.

For me poker is NLHE; what I love about NLHE is that you have to play perfectly, you can lose your whole stack with one bad call (and therefore hours of playing).

I adore poker, began just with what decided to look at as the friend plays, and all! Played everywhere where it is possible, but it is the best of all to play, of course, in live, the real emotions, an intrigue, and crazy eyes! And all eto-Poker!!!

My son, now a professional player drew my interest to the game. He has played full time starting at 18, so I tried it.

I play for the money but I love the psychological aspect of the game.

online poker drew me in. Allowed me to learn the game from my living room without losing money. The challenge and strategy behind the game make it a constant learning experience. I miss the variety of games that pokerstars offered.

Before playing poker I play chess with friends - I like games that use a mind and I discovered in poker incredible things - one of them the decision making.:cool:

I started playing in Las Vegas. I worked at a business right across the street from the Orleans casino and would walk over to play 2/4 Limit after work. I love it because it's exciting and I can win money.

I started to play poker thanks to a friend who is doing well. Tournaments have won important prizes. One day he told me, "Animate studies practice" and you will see the advantages of playing poker ... in that project, to define it in that way is what that made me get to poker :cool:

what's really interesting is I got into an online card game called Hearthstone and a lot of the live streamers online who would play that game also played probability based games including poker. then poker got added to twitch and really it was this particular streamer I watch "reckful" who got me into poker. he's really good at it but doesn't stream it that often because when you stream poker you need to stream with a 5 minute delay, so it's not really "live" its 5 minutes delayed. Anyway he didnt like that, but it got me into online poker and I've been playing now for like a year to a year and a half.

I saw people win poker money a long time ago and I also wanted to play and try to win, now I like this game and very well when I sometimes win tournaments or cash games, for me it is a great game where I can spend a couple of hours normally and more, sometimes you get emotions
good from the game and sometimes bad!

Hello.
I started playing poker half a year ago. My colleague at work constantly played in turbo tournaments and gradually I also learned and started to play. By the way, since then, I have won more money than my colleague.

I played the first time more than ten years ago, with friends face to face, I liked it and since then I have been playing all the time. Now more on the Internet than in real life. because now we have it prohibited by law(( (and this is very stupid)

I was the youngest of five kids at the time no more than 4 years old when we would go to grandma's house (we called her nan) and she would dump out the penny jar and play poker with us and we got to keep anything we won. It's been a love affair ever since.

I learned at a young age like Chief above me ^. Cousins and sibling and I would sit around with our step-grandpa and play various poker games with a set of chips. We never actually gambled for real money, but it was tons of fun. I then got into playing online years later and decided to look for info and found this place.. and that's all she wrote.

I enjoy playing games, and not just poker, especially where you have to do some thinking. I think it's fun when you use info to make a decision and end up being correct.

I've played many games of chance the truth that poker is one of the most appealing to me, for the simple reason that it is not just a game of chance, but it also has a lot to do with the strategy that is Apply to win.
And that's what makes it more appealing than the rest.
