How did you get to know poker?

[Gritz18]

How long have you been familiar with poker and under what circumstances did you get to know it?

Well, I've known poker for a while now, and the circumstances, that I've known it, it's been really fun.
I was walking down the street, and out of nowhere the poker appeared in front of me, and he kept looking at me, and I was looking at him, and a beautiful and great friendship was born there.
Since then he comes to my house almost every day, sometimes I get nervous with him, because I don't like it when he makes me suffer on the river.
But I know he doesn't mean it, he told me he's a bed beat, but I don't care to know.

It was around 2008-9, we played a lot of french belote during our spare time at the university, one day a roommate introduced us to poker, he taught us the rules and we played a couple of hands. I found it a challenging game, with a lot of factors to consider. As I like challenges I started playing freerolls online and studying the game, I didn't stop playing since then.

A friend introduced me to the world of poker. I have been familiar with various card games since childhood and have heard about it before, but have never played it. I got tired of computer games and decided to play poker. What is generally happy, but there are also black days - it's poker!

[ledsmith]

I've probably known poker for about 15 years. At first I watched television broadcasts of tournaments, at that time I didn’t even quite understand the rules and mechanics of the game. Then I played a game against the computer. Then online for play money. Then I tried it for real little money on PS. But I did not play all the time, there were big breaks for several years. And I never played live.

Many years ago, when I was still a young boy, I watched a native movie about poker in the cinema, which became a hit in our country. It was this impulse that fully exploded when Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP in 2003. Since then, I started playing poker seriously .
