One of my friends is a very good poker player and I was looking on him playing and falling in love with the game. We used to play for hours after that..

:cool: It was because of my friends, that we started looking for a game where we would show our skills, and they would bet that we started.

I started to play poker with frinds when I was a teenager. But when I think know about this time I wasn`t really good. I got better when I watched poker streams on twitch. Whith these I learned a lot and so I started to play on pokerstars.

I started playing poker in a recreational way with the neighbors of the neighborhood where I lived in 2008. Since that year I have not stopped playing. It's really fun and cool!

How I started was a mixture of seeing poker on TV and my sister playing online. So I ended up opening up an account online and mostly enjoyed playing since ��

My brother used to play on on pokerstars, he deposited 15USD to play spin and go's and MTTs, he was recreational.
When I saw the MTT prizes and the Spin Go jackpot I went crazy and did the download of pokerstars
I was a complete Newbie, but in my fist day playing Spins i tuned 20USD to 200USD ahahahahhaha

At first I played card games, then for conditional money at Pokerstars. And suddenly a young guy came to my work. After working for a couple of years, he admitted to playing for real money at Pokerstars. Since then, I have shared my work experience with him, and he is with me the basics of playing poker for money.

I started with the support of a couple of friends and ended up enjoying it, I have little time playing and the winnings I already had were great thanks to their help that made me evolve a lot in poker in a short time

At first i saw tv broadcasting from different live events. It was for me very interesting to learn about the play from the legends lederer, helmuth, doyle brunsor or phil ivey. So i learned the first rules and played online. My roommates from my studi flat were much more succesful. But i play since time nearly 20 years. And it is fascinating for me like the first day.

Since school, i really liked the theory of probability. So gradually i began to play all games in which it is possible to get a mathematical advantage over opponents. I started out with blackjack.

I always liked card games. My parents always played, so my kids explained some tips to me and I got hooked.

My brother taught me how to play poker, we watched poker videos together and learned to play it. I consider this time to be one of the best moments in my life.

I started playing poker when I found out that a friend won a lot of money, and when I started playing the game, I see that it is a very interesting and smart game

My grandfather played poker and so did my father, so I also wanted to learn how to play poker.
We played a lot with friends on weekends when we didn't go anywhere to party.
Ladbrokes was my first gaming site where I could play poker. That's where my poker career started..

Tell us a little about how you started the sport.
Hi.
I started playing about 7 years ago. At that time, I was working at a job and I often had free time, and in order not to get bored, I started playing poker. Unfortunately, there is very little free time now, and I don't play poker as often as I would like.
Good luck :)
