I started playing poker when I saw an ad on a website that gave a small bankroll to start and from that day on I never needed to make a deposit to play again and I hope to continue playing for a long time yet.

A friend insisted a lot in a group to play poker, the funny thing is that nobody in the group wanted to learn, but one day, beer involved, not convinced and taught us the rules, and the truth we loved. Then it became habitual in each meeting, and we ended up in love with the game.

I started playing poker thanks to a friend

I started playing poker thanks to a good friend. I did not pay attention when he told me about poker cause I was not really interested but then he start earning money from poker and I decided start paying attention and actually I started to asked him about more and more.

I made my first deposit and then I got the promo at that moment and I start playing and now I'm really happy and enjoy every single moment while I'm playing.

Question an interesting! I have always been interested in the game itself and card games in particular! Poker also included all aspects of this business and competition,and excitement,and luck, and at all, with the opportunity to receive a reward for their work - a kind of alloy of entertainment and earnings, in my opinion the ideal occupation in life!

My grandfather taught me how to play when I was little, it was a five card poker. He taught me the rules and I enjoyed it very much. Then came texas holdem and it's even better to play :)

I think it was realizing a childhood game using dice and having corresponding groupings of pairs, straights and full houses was actually based on poker hands, around that time an album called " the gambler came out. And of course the old maverick tv show had poker playing on it. Ero sum there were several influences that lead to an early appreciation of the format and the idea of it being a "man's" pastime.

In my childhood I loved video games, played them day and night, when I povzrasleli my friends one night decided to go to a casino, so here I learned what poker, hoti did not yet know how to play this wonderful game, had to play blackjack, but over time I mastered some skills of playing poker.

By reading stock trading books noticed that many speculators had playing poker game in common. Also, as I like a lot western movies, watched lots of cowboys heroes doing it too.
So I was interested to play, started reading articles, basic books, started play money...so here I am. For me, the best game on earth.
