I am 30 years old and I have been playing poker with big breaks for about 10 years. When I pass the bad luck I have enough of this game, but I always have the desire to return after some time

Growing up in Vegas, I don't remember NOT playing poker but didn't get into Hold'em until my 20's. I am now in my 40's and more serious about it than ever. :)

I started to get interested in poker. I was about 30 years old and I was on cable, and I always found the mood and ambeinte sensational.
Then when it arrived in 2007/2008 the Brazilians started to stand out and spread the Poker for Brazil and it was when I took a liking once, I bought books, and I followed everything for a good time, but then for work matters I was a little absent. And today I'm going back to everything, looking for study material and rediscovering a path to follow in poker and learning to play more profitably ...

I started playing online at 12. My father played and his friends would play also so i learned very quick. We shared our online account i won $3600 at age 13! I felt like i was on top of the world. I loved it so much and still do i just hate the changes they made with online gambling in the US. :D

When I started playing poker, I was 18 years old, and now I'm 25. And I think that's the best year to start. I started to mature as a person and as a player in those years and for now I'm doing very well. Signs are not 18 years ago.

My first acquaintance with the world of poker happened at the age of 20, but I started to get seriously interested and play much later. And these years were just learning, learning, a kind of poker school. I was losing more than winning. Then there was a long time when I did not play at all. And a few years ago I returned to the game.

My great-grandma was a slot machine junkie and casino lover. She taught me how to play poker, blackjack and many more card games when I was a young child. I was about 4 or 5 when she taught me these games.

I didn't start playing NLHE until around 2000 after seeing it on ESPN and being further intrigued by the game. I love all forms of poker and card games are a staple in my family.

My Dad taught me when I was between 8-12. 5 card draw,7 card no peek(night baseball for some), Jacks or better,trips to win.....great pot builder. So many I have not played for years. But Holdem I started when I was about 30. Mostly online,but have played in casino a couple times and an occasional home game.
