To be honest I don't remember how or when I started playing poker, I think it must have been with play money at pokerstar.

What I do remember is when I started to get interested, and it was once on television they were showing a final table of a pokerstar tournament.

I learned from friends who were playing a lot games.

I started in college and then played with friends.
I played very badly and ended up losing to them ... I really thought it was luck!

one day I cheated and they found out ... that's when I started to study and practice.
then every week I beat them kkk

The first time I watched a tournament on TV, I was fascinated!
I always imagine myself playing and being filmed kk

my friends played longer than me, so they knew more ..
I swore it was a game of chance.

I started to study and beat them easily.

I always liked to play card games, many years ago on television I saw a poker tournament and I loved it, researched the internet about the game and did not stop playing.

Tell us a little about how you started the sport.

I started playing poker about four years ago when I was unemployed and had a lot of free time. I immediately liked this game, and I realized that it would be my hobby.

a friend introduced me to poker at school, and right away I fell in love with poker.

When I was twelve I would play poker with my parents on Saturday nights before Gunsmoke came on the television. Westerns were big on TV back then, and poker games were a frequent part of westerns, so since I already loved to play cards it was a no brainer. I guess that westerns had quite an effect on me, because another even bigger part of them was pretty much everyone carrying a sixgun. When I turned 21, the age in our state to purchase a handgun, I bought a sixgun like this one.

They work great at poker games too. Just placing it on the table in front of you tends to keep all the other players "honest". LOL!!

I started playing poker 11 years ago. My friends played online in the evenings and I was also interested. A lot of time has passed since then, but poker remains my favorite hobby that brings me fun and money.

$2 home games 30 years ago....i had no idea how to play, and was the fish.

started watching friday night poker on uk tv in the late 90s...learning...more home games...started winning.

1st online experience...around 2002...pokerroom,com...as a depositor...won enough to buy a flight to india when my K6 sooted ...spades...hit the river flush against pot odds...
in 2003 got spanked for $500 or so by people who actually knew what they were doing... vowed NEVER to deposit again...never have.

i didnt really start learning poker until 2008..,.at the railbirds poker forum...played regularly against the same opponents....learnt how to take notes and properly remember hands... Read Brunson, Harrington, started actually learning from players better than me, rather than just losing to them.

forever learning...tuning my game according to my own style of play.

As a child, I was interested in different types of games, including card games, and learned the rules of 5 card poker (one of the names is Russian poker). Later, as a student, he visited a casino and learned to play poker against a dealer. As I got older, I learned to play many types of poker and was looking for the opportunity to play poker over the Internet as a hobby. They showed me the PS website and this was the beginning of my semi-professional journey)).

Social network VKontakte - that's where I first started playing poker !!!

 

[neptun1914]

I started playing before black friday when poker advertisements were everywhere. TV show like poker after dark and high stakes poker also helped.
