How did you find out about poker?

Hello, can you tell the story of how you know this fascinating game.

I remember meeting him on television in an LAPT tournament that airs on SPN.

I discovered poker through my father, who always showed a great interest in card games and strategy. Growing up, I remember watching him participate in friendly poker games with friends and family at home. I was intrigued by the way he analyzed hands, read his opponents, and made calculated decisions. As I grew up, my father taught me the rules of the game and the basics of poker strategy. It was through those lessons that I began to appreciate the depth and complexity of this card game. Although I haven't always been an active player, that early introduction to poker left a lasting impression and appreciation for the game that endures to this day.

Very interesting question. I discovered poker when I was 11. the whole family used to play with matches instead of money or chips.
And the variant I first learned is 5-Card Draw. It's only 20 years later that I started to play Holdem and Omaha.
And now I really like that game !

We played 5 card draw as kids. It was pretty wide spread locally back in my young days and of course played for Monopoly money hehe. I "discovered" NL Holdem which I mainly play now days when I was starting out collage. Joined some collage leagues there and started playing online shortly after.

My dad showed me poker when I was a child and taught me to play, then everything just started happening on its own.

When I was a young child 8-9 years old we as a family would play poker (usually 5 card stud) at Christmas as we always received some money as gifts maybe 1$ or $2 and we would play a cash game my brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and best friend. As I remember in the end my uncle would always take the money. The adults drank a lot and my brother and I got to act like grownups and have a glass of beer. This was back in the 60's. Probably not acceptable today.

I met him several years ago on a TV broadcast, they were broadcasting an EPT event and I was very curious so I decided to search the internet about this game.

 

[gravii2011]

I learned about poker thanks to my work colleague. He played all the time. I started watching him play, and then I wanted to play it myself. And poker started for the rest of my life.

I was introduced to poker at work! We worked in a hangar with a colleague and transported cargo. During the break, I saw a colleague playing something on the phone. I asked him and he told me more about this game. I've been playing poker for 4 years since that day.
