I started when I was 16 years old but I couldn't play in the game houses, so I always played with friends at school. So when I was 18 I discovered the PokerStars website and created an account and started my gaming journey!

I started playing poker when I was 17, just playing with friends. Then I became more and more interested in the sport and it became my passion. It's one of my favorite things to do these days. The game has changed a lot since then, but it still doesn't lose the fun! Nothing like gathering friends at a table and having fun together with a beer and cards in hand lol

At what age did you start playing poker?

I actually learned the basic 5 card draw poker and 7 card stud poker at around 10 or 12 years old. I was not playing for real money then, just pennies.

Playing poker for real money started in my early 20's, I never devoted much time to really improving until I had my work injury, and I knew I was going to have "time" and I had to find something I could do that wasn't really physically demanding.

Two steps

I played poker for fun (with no money behind the chips) at a family table when I was in my early twenties. Not regularly, not even often. Just game night kind of thing. The first time I ever put actual money into a game was about a month ago and I am 46.

Hello.
I started playing poker after 30 years. Before that, I was not interested in card games at all. And now poker is my favorite hobby that brings me joy and pleasure.

My dad used to have friends over for cards games when I was a child, they never played poker though. I never joined in, but watched, it was not really until my late teens I started playing card games, various formats of poker, mainly stud. Over 20 years ago.

Started in poker at 34 years old

I started playing poker at the age of 34, I had no idea how great it is to play poker, especially when you see that you can make a lot of money playing.
Before getting to know poker I worked with sales of coalho cheese on the beach in Copacabana, when I started selling coalho cheese on the beach it was very profitable I already had more than 600 reais in a day, in brazil the minimum wage is a little more 1000 reais, but with time more and more cheese sellers appeared, that's when I looked for a way to make money using the internet and watched a video of a former reporter from a very famous channel here in Rio de Janeiro, explaining that started playing because and earns more than when he was a reporter.
I looked for videos of poker courses on youtube I found videos by André Akkari, which helped me a lot, the most important thing is the basis for which you are starting to play today is to learn about the open ranges of each position, learning this, the rest is just practice and pay attention to the villains, since when I started in poker I never lost money I think because I played a lot of Mtts free.
