I first played poker 16 years ago in the year 2000 during a quiet night at my best friend's house. I didn’t drink alcohol, and not being wealthy enough to have a computer of my own meant I looked forward to spending as much time as I could in the library computer rooms, even if it was just to fend off the boredom. Looking back, I should have studied my subject in great detail as I had the time and the isolation to do so, however, as a 15 year old quiet guy, I was more at home browsing the more primitive Internet and where I vociferously read the news, searched for fun games to play, and posted on forums.

I was a probably in my early 40's when I started playing online - guess I was a late bloomer compared to most of you.

I started playing at 20 when I met my husband. Didn't even know the game before him. He showed me hands to go with and hands to fold.

14. I will never take poker serious. I think there are better ways to make money. I'm 25 now, and I play microstakes.

I started playing when I was 52 (65 now). Had a chance to start playing the year Brunson won his second wsop main event...didn't start...I think when a friend asked me to play in his home game I said "you have to push all your chips in at once? that's crazy!". In actual fact, I was crazy not to start playing then.
