Fifteen or sixteen, because a boy I liked who was a couple of years older started playing it, but never really played until I signed up to a paid site once when I was in my early twenties, then in the last couple of years started playing paid poker more regularly after playing a bunch of free games like Zynga and governor of poker. I really couldn't stand playing free games any longer because they're incredibly predatory in my opinion, still pull all of the same tricks and play on the same vulnerabilities as paid casinos, but remove the possibility of winning real money back. What's the point? I mean, GOP in particular is quite bad: sure, you can grind and spend your entire life not learning to play poker properly getting millions of chips or you can buy them for like 100 euros for 200,000,000. Given some of the tables have that in a single blind, I'm not sure how else you're supposed to interpret their sales tactics.
Anyway, sorry for the tangential rant, I like poker and gambling but I'm also concerned at how the industry preys on vulnerable people and 'free' games like that (which now extend to websites that are basically crap slots that you pay them for non-monetised coins to play on and win sweet nothing) get a free pass because they're not proper gambling websites or something.

My dad was a contractor. We had a pool table in the basement. On top of that, was a vinyl cover that had a crap table outlined on it. I was 5yrs old, had two older brothers and we were all taught the game of craps at 5-7yrs old.
We played WAR at first, then came poker with wild cards, that was 7-9yrs old for sure. Rock on CardsChat!

I started playing poker at the age of 17 when I was a freshman in college. I remember that some friends played and when I saw them play I realized that they were playing for money, which made me curious. They taught me the rules and how easy it was to play. When I understood the game I started playing and I liked hanging out with friends and also being able to win a little money.
