I've always loved card games.
I started playing cards since the age of 7, with my grandfather and father.
So when I saw a 5 card draw game in a western movie, I immediately thought "I wanna play this game"
Sadly, in the country I live in, poker was not popular at that time, and internet wasn't invented yet. So I couldn't really play with anyone. So happy that with Holdem made poker more popular worldwide, so now I can play with my friends, and compete online.

I love games in general, but I still remember the first time I saw my older cousins playing, I obviously did not know how to play and they explained the basics to me... First hand in I rivered a straight flush, and my cousin had trips. They just looked at each other in disbelief. I loved the game ever since.

What got me into playing poker was going to parties and everyone was playing except me. I got tired of being the only one out of my circle who didn't play so I got me a 'What beats what card' and started to play and the rest is history.

My father introduced me to poker when I was in highschool. I really didn't take it seriously, but I am fascinated by the game right away. Now I want to make it a priority over everything. I want to be the best in my country.

I introduced myself to poker many years ago, when I had a desktop computer at home, that was the time when players from the USA were still playing at fulltiltpoker in early 2004, now they are not allowed to go there and I read the rules and started playing

I played for years occasionally and just for fun a free pokergame App on my I-phone. I switched to Android and the App doesn't work anymore. So I registered to Pokerstars, they banned playmoney in my country and I got attracted to play with real money. Busted 2 times my bankroll, found the CC Poker Course, and as a freak for statistics, I downloaded PT4. My losses are a thing of the past and all in all I am now a few dollars up. Hope this developpment goes on...

to be honest the game of poker has always fascinated me, he thrill the excitement, the unpredictability of the game is addictive, but the player who gave me hope of becoming a top player was Daniel negraneau

Living here in the UK, we had a late night TV show back in 2000 called Late Night Poker and I had played quite a bit of Stud and 5 Card Draw, but never heard of Texas Hold-em until then.
The show had a regular cast of players with a few visiting players but the regulars included Dave Devilfish Ulliot, Dave Colcough, and the Boatmen brothers Ross and Barney. Ross was also an Actor in another TV series called London's Burning, which was very popular here in the UK.
Saying that the show was quite popular and it sparked my interest, because I have always loved card games, Brag, Don, Crib, Shoot, and Poker. Of course there were adverts for poker sites and a few offered free-rolls to get you started, so I took up the free-roll's offered and couldn't win a bean.
So I wondered why, and it was after studying the Late Night poker games I realised that you cannot afford to see every flop, It is just not possible, as the blinds will see you off in no time, So I changed my strategy and started to get places in the money.
I bought book's and watched a lot of on-line Poker videos and the thing they don't show is the hand after hand of folded action, it just wouldn't be good TV.
But after winning a few Dollars in free-rolls I started to play Micro stake Sit and Go games, and became quite good at low stake games, winning more than I was losing, and it was then I decided to start playing Live games in Pubs and Clubs, and really I have never looked back.
I have done well in the last 20 years, never wanting to make a career from Poker, just happy to play for fun, and a few extra pounds in my pocket.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
