I started gambling when I was around 18. I started playing poker at the age of around 35.
I do it to pass the time and to have fun. Don't play seriously.

I think maybe 18 I started with freerolls in 2008 can't remember the site though, it was so simplistic back then and better, if all sites didn't do all these 3d avatars that you can't hide and stuff it would still be great.

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



I was 24 years old. It's been 12 years since the first poker game. But I play with long breaks. The first 4 years were unforgettable. However, poker takes a long time. The money won was not enough to live on. So I had to reduce the playing time in poker.

I first got acquainted with poker when I was 18 years old and it was pokerstars. And I played mostly freerolls, tournaments called 'school of poker', if I'm not mistaken, and it was fun with the prize money (If my memory does not fail me, then for the first place something about a couple of bucks). Maybe there are those who played these tournaments and remember that there was money? Then I didn't play for a long time, because poker was not particularly interesting to me (the reason, as I now understand these tournaments in which I played). From time to time I returned to the stars to play, started trying cash games with a deposit, but somehow I was not particularly lucky and decided to give up again. This went on for several years, then I returned and again left the game for a long time. At the end of 2016, I accidentally saw a freeroll from CC on the list of tournaments, and that's how I got to this forum. Since that time, I began to devote more time to the game. and 2 years ago I can say that I started playing almost all the time. now I'm 32.

How old when l started playing?

Well around the age of 11 or 12 l started playing with my grandfather and all of his cop friends after work. He'd dump a hand full of quarters dimes an nickels from his jar and hand them to me. We'd all gather around our heavy solid wood dinner table and play 5 card draw or 21 as hold em wasn't even a thought in those days. I get an occasional sip off of his Old Milwaukee. Those were definitely the good ol days but bl learned a lot about reading people and the game in general. What l wouldn't give to go back for just one more game with that group of gentleman who taught me more about life in general around that table than most will ever have the opportunity to learn in a lifetime. God bless and good luck and gaming to all.

I didn't start playing poker until I was in my early 20's. Up until then I was strictly a spades and bid-wize player until I was introduced to Texas holdem at a party and the rest is history.

I started playing live poker at the age of 18 and now a month ago I got to know online poker. Too bad I hadn't played online before and much better.

hi.I started playing poker early.about 15 years old.then I abandoned it for many years,and a year and a half ago I returned to IgA.I have already returned to online poker,in the growing up period I played only live.I will say that online poker is quite different from live poker.I still can't fully adapt to online poker.I've already stopped playing negative,but I'm still not very good at making a profit.random hands,especially on 888,is generally like playing roulette.
