For example, I started playing at the age of 18.

I was 25 when the poker boom started in 2003. That is when I made my first deposit on party poker. Started with play money then $50 deposit and played my first sit n go for real money.

Probably in the 8 or 9 range when I played classic home games for fun. Wasn't until 19-20 that I started playing holdem and for $

I started at 17 and I was a play money grinder back then.
Didn't take it seriously until years after.

I started playing poker at about the age of 36. But I am convinced that poker is a great game for all ages.

I started playing poker around the age of 37 ... and since then I haven't stopped playing ... I love poker ... it has become part of my life ...!

I am 44 years old. I started playing three years ago. If I knew how wonderful this game was, I would have started much earlier.

I started play at my 26, always wanted to try when was waching desperate houseviwes but this game wasnt very popular in my country

From a very young age, poker catches my attention but it was at 30 when I was really interested and I regret that maybe today I was a great player, I lost a lot of time but it's never too late in life everything can be achieved

I started playing poker at the age of 16 but I am forced to note that I was a big fish at that time. luckily my friends too which allowed me to win poker from the start.

I was 28!It was 11 years ago.I am very glad that I got acquainted with this wonderful game!

I was 15 years old when I started playing poker. My neighbor taught me how to play 5-card draw poker.

Hi,I started playing poker when I was 39.....a little bit late but I like this game so much .

If I remember well I started when I was 18. This was with play money though. With freerolls and so on I could earn some coins and start from there. The poker software I used then got banned in my country and I changed to Pokerstars. I had some difficulties there to get used to the different software and I never was motivated to continue. I played with ups and downs. From this year though I got my motivation back and I played this year continuously. I hope to spend more years still in the future

i started al 30, bot only for hobby, real poker come at 35 then i still playing.

I started playing poker at the age of 17 with my classmates. I gladly remember that we were meeting at a colleague's house and playing the pocket money given by parents for school , beautiful times

Hi.
I started playing at the age of 36. I had a free work schedule and a lot of time, so I decided to give it a try.
Good luck.

I started playing when I was 20. My wife's family would play tournaments at home. Normally a 5-10$ buy in. Her uncle plays alot and loved getting the family involved.

I was 14 in grade 9 losing all my lunch money

I was about 10-12 when I first got a knowledge about it at a summer camp. I remember i was so amazed about it. We played through the nights, and I learned the rules of it, and the older ones sometimes could let me to win.
I was about 14 when I missed these times and had been starting to play seriously. And including some breaks, I am still loving it.

I was 19 when the poker boom happened, thats when I was hooked. Its funny how a few good runs made me feel on top of the world. But then reality hit, life happened, graduated college, got a job, got married and I still "reminisce" about the golden poker days.

But after a 10+ year hiatus from poker, we are back (hence my username)!

GL to all!

Hmm, about 10 yrs old.

I started at the age of 47 and to top it off a year I got mad at bad beats and stopped playing for 10 years, but here I am again, with 58.

I’ve been playing since I was 27.

I started playing online at the age of 35. That was when I got my first computer, was hooked and played regular for about 2 years before I started playing live at the casinos.

I started to play online poker right away as I become 18 years old First day I created my account and played. I was waiting for that day

3 years ago when I was 40. I never liked card games b4. But here I am, addicted...

Hello how are you, what a question !!! I started playing more than 30 years ago sincerely do not remember how old it should have been in my adolescence, I remember that my aunt gave me a double deck of cards with very fine pirate barcor motifs

I started playing poker when I was 45 I think if I started playing earlier I would have a better result

I was 27 years old in 2008 but it was only in 2012 that I started playing for real money, since then I never stopped

I was 29 years old when I started.

I was 25. Rich enough to lose many and smart enougt to learn from mu mistakes

I started playing poker at the age of 25, a lot of money was lost during this time, but I'm not discouraged, I hope that I will still hit a big jackpot

Started to play on 16 using my dad's name and creditcard for me to able to register and deposit online. Never regret about that

17 is when i started playin poker

I met poker when I was 25 (2011) but only played with fake money and, at 32 (2018) I started playing with real money. (which is totally different)

Hey
At a good age of 35, with online poker at Fulltilt
And then live in 2 years at a casino nearby.
Have had a great many moments so far.

I started playing poker not long before my thirtieth birthday.

I was around 13 when I started, I played home games at my friends house then started going to tourneys not long after

For fun when i was 13 in home games and for real as soon as i was 18

Pretty close to same. I was 23 in 2003. Working down in FL with a group of guys from WI and we had a good share of tourneys at this large house they were living in. Around 2004 starting playing on a free site/ play site called pokerfatcat and played in tavern tourneys before finding pokerhost and absolute poker for a small bit of time.

I was around 15 yo. Loved it ever since. Played in lots of 10 minute breaks in high-school with my classmates.

hi there
it´s been so long that i really dont remember but it seems ages since i started playing
rgds

I started when I was 18 too.

It was in a friend's house, a home game which went for almost 3 years straight!

memories

I recently started playing poker
my son is 11 years old
he wants to play poker too
but I forbid him to play poker

I started when I was 12, playing against my Great-uncle. I'm now 73, so I've been playing 61 years and still suck at it.

I started trying to play poker somewhere at the age of 17 when I saw this game, then I didn’t play and started later after some time I learned the rules well and started to play normally somewhere at 25 and I started to win somewhere in random or in tournaments or somewhere in cash games, you can start playing poker at the age of 16-18, the main thing is to understand the rules and make fewer mistakes and get results from the game as a plus!
