I started playing poker at the age of 12 with my parents. Then it turned out that some of my friends also know how to play, and we played together. It was during my school years.

I started playing poker since I was 16 years old, I always liked betting and winning money, without much effort, I always got my attention from the cards and the chips, the bloff, the lie, and the deception, the manipulation of the chips and All those sensations, in online poker, I started at the age of 23 as a result of the economic, social and political situation in Venezuela, I started playing and saw many benefits that have taught me to become a better person, and a better player in all Aspects, I am a professor, in my country, a university professor earns around $ 3 a month, currently I do not exercise due to the situation and poker has served me for everything from food to comforts, I can never complain ... currently I don't have dollars in my account, but I fight every day to get them,I know that sooner or later they will arrive or I will get a good sponsor where it generates good income for both parties.

poker is like the world, sometimes good sometimes bad ...

I started playing senior in college and I was a huge fish. I did get lucky at a home game and won 2.5 buy ins. Now I mostly play micro and low stakes online.

 

[RimworldDoctor]

Oh gosh. Age 12, maybe? They made casino games for the super nintendo.

 

[zerosalex]

both grandparents taught me a bunch of card games growing up, many that involved flushes straights etc. outs and statistics are my thing then I liked the mind and getting into peoples minds like psychology so then I found texas hold em and its like a perfect match. it can be easy at times.

 

[yezzrr]

I didn't start playing poker until I was like 18ish. I always loved strategy games, but had no idea poker was one until some friends convinced me to get into it &#55357;&#56898;

 

[Ricardo_lhp]

I started with a little more, more or less in my 14 years old range, and the first modality I saw was hold em no limit, I didn’t understand anything that happened at the table, much less how to play, so I started researching more about the game and I learned about the strength of the hands, the correct ranges to play and etc ...

 

[Fushicho]

Reading several other replies I think my story is similar to others.
I was brought up in a card playing house. My father was an international Bridge player and Mum and Dad played cards for fun. I dont really know old I was when first played poker but it was very young. LOL
