Elementary school

At fifth grade elementary, playing a lot of card games. Poker was one of them, but texas hold 'em wasn't popular in the early 1970's.

Hi Friend.

I discovered this beautiful game when I was 18 years old, for a while I played with fictitious money, but only when I was 28 did I start playing it with real money.

I first started playing poker when I was 18, although it was only with friends at that point for a laugh and mainly for beers as opposed to actual money (winner of the game took the winnings but it was customary for them to buy the first round or two at the pub next time we were out).

Playing properly I first played when I was 24, but had a bad experience and stopped playing properly for quite a while and then only dabbled here and there.

Playing properly and regularly, I started at the end of last year and I'm currently 34.

started a little late at age 45. That's when a nephew introduced me to poker and I became passionate about it and made it a hobby to keep my head up. I came from chess and I end up mixing the two, but I manage to love poker more than chess for poker's sake will provide more adrenaline doses hahaha

At the age of 34, he started playing. My only regret is that I didn't start playing sooner.

Hello

I think I played poker at the age of 25, it was live poker the first time I played at home with my friends, then after that I loved online poker

I started playing at 25 and now I'm 35! Scary to think! But of course I played intermittently (save yourself from unnecessary stress)

I started playing poker 4 years ago. I was 42 years old when I started. I am now 46 years old. I plan to play poker until I am 101, which means I have 55 years of fun ahead of me.

About 5 days ago when I was 36. So far my career as a poker player has been less than stellar but the future looks bright.
