I started late in life I always loved card game's like Cribbage, Don, blackjack and 3 card brag, but did not get into poker until I was in my 40s.
If I knew how big it was going to be I would have started a long time ago.

My dad taught me how to play "Kings and Little Ones" when I was 8. Five card draw, kings and the smallest card in your hand are wild.

My first contact with poker was maybe a little "late" I was 24 years old between 2010 and 2011 in college and with my brother and his friends in home games but at that time I didn't know much about poker, but I started to understand it more and take it more seriously was from the year 2013.

I didn’t know anything about poker and had no idea what it was. But somehow my friend attracted me and I was addicted. Then I was 41.
