How old were you when you first started playing poker?

[Rusel2302]

The first time I played poker with friends probably in the years 13, it was 5 card poker, I liked the game, played schelbany, etc. Then there was a lull,and then began to play hold'em

I was just a little boy (about 40yo lol) when I started. Spent some times playing play money-online and reading books and articles (still read).
Had some gaps without playing but came back recently from a long one.
Now, with 54, still studying and learning.
Believe I'm one of the oldest player of the forum. Any older?


Best of Luck

Well since I just started playing not all that long ago, I started in my mid-20s. It would have liked to start earlier to have more experience and hands, but better late than never.

First real taste of poker for me was watching Moneymaker winning the wsop Main Event

Playing online proved to be difficult at first. My first site was Tiger Gaming and they had tourneys you could buy into with play chips and actually win a dollar.

Did that once, took my real dollar and lost it in four hands at a SNG

AP after that, and I had to send money orders to some random in the Phillipines or in Kenya to fund my account

Still playing online, mostly Party and 888

I think I was 26 years old, the first time I tried with friends, since then I play, now I'm 32 and I like it. Do what you like! What do you like, your Soul!

I was 22 years old when I decided to register at pokerstars with boredom

 

[JAAMEZz]

[AngelBLR_Poker]

I started playing poker somewhere in 14-15 years, and now I'm 21 and I still continue to play, only this time for real money in it. However, I took a few breaks, the biggest is probably half a year.

 

[P86]

I'd say i was 21 and i was bored studying maths and physics so i joined PS the rest is a history of frustration

 

[Cody5991]

I was 14 when I first started to play poker but didn't really start to take it seriously until recently

 

[magik9118]

I started playing online poker at 15 years old and like it so much already(some things Never change...)😎

 

[No1eJoker]

Is Poker your primary job? How many hour you play at day, and what limits?

I started to play poker for fun when I was 16

I started to play poker for fun because of my brother and one of my closest friends, I just like to play and spend time having fun then when I turned 18 years old I created my poker account and now I'm 19 almost 20 in a couple of months and my plan is just keep playing and become a really good player.

 

[ACEWOLF56]

I was 27 when I started playing. I was at the peak of my fitness, swimming, MMA, etc., won my first ever two tournaments back to back and the third 2 months later.

How old were you when you first started playing poker? And were you instantly hooked?

I was about 15 and hated it and found it a couple years later and for some reason seemed to like it then- the rest is history lol.

I first start playing poker at the age of 13 with some bigger guys from neighborhood and instantly fall in love
