Once, as a student, my classmate suggested playing poker on the pokerstar. Then I did not know anything about the poker world. He began to watch broadcasts of world series online. I learned a lot about poker. Now there is not enough time for normal learning the game. Therefore, I play a little than I would like. With each year of study, I understand that I know very little about the game.

In my childhood I played live 5 card poker for matches. When I was 18 I was looking for alternative methods of making money online. I have chosen an ad for poker, which gives free tickets for new players. I had to try. And so it began :)

I remember that I used to watch game shows on GSN all of the time as a kid, late into the night. Poker would often pop up on that channel. I had no idea what was going on, but I got hooked on it somehow. I think around 8 years old I had a whole poker set, but funnily enough I wouldn't learn how to play the game properly until I got back into it a few years ago.

A friend of mine was giving English lessons to a Serbian professional player. Then they started playing some online with play money and enjoyed the challenge and entertainment factor, so I decided to give a try with play money also before I finally deposited at a few sites.

I was bored of internet games and I was searching if there was a game with money on line. I found poker and it was an exciting game! I haven`t stop playing since that and I hope I will get bigger and bigger trophies!

It's my hubby's fault

My husband has played online poker for more 15+ years and back in the day he even built some software for a few casinos. At the time I always enjoyed watching it so I would sit next to him and watch or watch a tournament on TV but after awhile I wanted to try so I did. I played on and off for a short time but then got busy with little ones and work and lost interest. Now that the kids are mostly grown and independent I have an abundance of free time so figured I might as well get back into poker.

10 years ago TRANSMISSIONS WSOP on ESPN and cash tables with professionals who passed and you got involved and my first room to play was pokerstars, what I did was earn points to redeem for sweatshirts, hats and sell them online and so he pulled extra money:icon_rr:

Good afternoon everyone.
My interest in the beginning is to live poker and as incredible as it sounds and had never played poker, I didn't know the rules of the game either, I also didn't know that AA is the best pre flop hand.
The date of the 1st time I played poker, 09/29/2018 03:12 PM, sharkscope info.
I credited $ 10.00 on pokerstars, spent less than an hour, studied, practiced and after a year playing poker every day my balance is not negative, I withdraw more pokerstars money than I deposited, most are very low values.
I was studying a way to make money at home, and read a report by a famous journalist who decided to quit the profession to devote himself to poker, I thought this is what I want, make money at home.

I met poker at a time that broadcast tournaments through sports channels, it seemed like a game quite similar to the trick that is our traditional game here in Argentina.

I think I loved seeing intelligence and sometimes even misleading ways in which poker players sat at the tables of the big tournaments that went on television. One day I saw that I only had to download poker stars and start playing, as I did not know how it was, I studied everything that is in the PS poker school and I do not have much time to play since my work and my studies They prevent it but I hope one day to win a good tournament. I forgot to comment that the one who inspired me most to play poker was Daniel Negreanu.

Many years ago I watched a WSOP program in which a guy from my country (Carlos Mortesen - Ecuador) earned USD 1.5M, that caught my attention and I started looking for information to learn how to play poker

I started playing after Texas holdem started being televised. Never crazy about poker, after I watched friends put pay checks in pots. I would never play that game. Once I learned that most poker is table stakes and Holdem started I was hooked. Play only for fun but I am a few thousand ahead after starting. Not enough to make me a pro but enough to enjoy the game without having to spend my paycheck.
