How did you get interested in Poker?

[infonazar]

I have been playing poker for 9 years. I started playing when I had a lot of free time. For me, poker is a hobby that also brings additional revenue.

I had it while being a teenager-we played at home with friends
And when I became older, I continued playing online

Hi.
I really love poker and play for fun. I started playing three years ago, and for the time being this is my main hobby.
Good luck.

watching a hand on internet from hadrian mateos vs johnny lodden. I wanted to know what was happening When I knew it, I fell in love

I can remember as a child, standing on my tiptoes at the kitchen table watching my mom, dad and other relatives and friends play poker. I can recall some really heated games, but it was never boring. I fell in love with the game back then and have been playing for years.

I played a little when I was younger. Technically, I played a variant of poker called Chickadee Poker (a game with WC Fields styled cards). I liked it, but forgot about it for years. Back in those days, I was interested in blackjack as well, and the idea of counting cards. I never went anywhere with that pursuit, though.

Starting to think about where to end up after retirement. My wife suggested Las Vegas. I thought to myself, "hmm... well I better learn poker." I went online and was pleasantly surprised to see you could play online.

More importantly, I found the concept of freerolls....

About the game of poker I learned from a friend,at first we were going and playing with each other,well, then I learned about the poker rooms and started playing there.Well, as for the winnings,I think everyone wants to break a big jackpot

[cranberry]

I got to know poker through movies and the Internet. Then on the Internet, I studied the rules of poker, read the forums and watched the video online.

 

[Percivalpl]

I got interested as there is money involved and it's not a lottery

 

[belizebum]

I got into poker when Moneymaker (an accountant), so am I, won the wsop in 2003. Thought what a way to win money. LOL. I may never make it to the WSOP, but I love the game and play as often as I can, mostly online.

Hi everybody!

I saw social media poker software. I started playing. Once I switched to real money.

 

[gocho2009]

In 2009 I saw a co-worker playing in pokerstars, I was struck by the game and started to play, I fell in love with the game, the adrenaline that injected into me

 

[neptun1914]

I do not remember what exactly attracted me. I heard about the game around 10 years ago when online poker was experiencing boom everywhere. In my country it was new game and it looked like quick way to make money. Also it was completely unregulated at that time. So it was something new and exciting to try.

 

[Ranish625]

I have been playing poker for so long that I do not remember how and what he interested me, probably one of my friends hooked me on this great game.

 

[Clowntown]

Reading books about poker and poker theory/strategy tends to help spark my interest in poker and make me want to play.

It was the summer of Moneymaker.

 

[Maikychan]

I became interested in poker when I was about 14, and realized that I could make some money playing online, from inside my room...

 

[Dertyp22]

Got interested with some friends and we played a lot tothether. Played more and more

 

[AlbieTross]

My dad taught me to play when I was 4 or 5 and he had a PokerStars account and let me play with play money. Ever since then I've been hooked.

 

[redboy23]

I am a gamer and had a buddy of mine whom I used to play Bridge with online. One day he capitalised on an invite a friend promotion on Full-tilt and so the journey began. We had a blast.

One important thing was the joy of educating ourselves in the game. We joined pokerschool and enjoyed practicing what we learned at the tables.

I have been having fun ever since. Poker is a blast if you do it right!

I met poker in a WSOP broadcast a few years ago. I found it very interesting and when I researched I was fascinated in the game.

My brother and brother in Law had planned to play a tournament and that's how I found poker and have not looked back since. That was in 2005. Oh I also saw the 2003 main event on ESPN and that got me into poker also.
