My husband introduced me to poker online. I did not understand why he was always on the computer playing poker, and at times it annoyed me. So I decided to try it out and see what all the hubbub was about. He showed me the basics and so my own poker journey began. I mainly play for the pleasure of it.

Back in the 60s alot of my friends got together on the weekends and played poker.Back then it was 7 card stud and 5 card draw,thats what everyone played.So i was intoduced to poker at a early age.When online poker started,i started playing texas holdem.It was nice to play against people from all over the world.A big change from playing with the guys on the weekend.When you get older,and not being able to do the things you are used to,playing poker lets you be on a even field with everyone.

a series of tv the mentalist, watching an episode that the mentalist made money from a poker game, I decided to find out what that game was like, right from the beginning I fell in love with the complexity of the game that seems simple but is a big puzzle

Age

I played a lot of sports growing up and have a real competitive nature. As I got older and am unable to run and jump I need an outlet for my competitive streak. Then one of my ex-girlfriends introduced me to Texas Holdem. I also have a little OCD in me. So I dove into learning everything I could about Texas Holdem. I love a really good competitive poker game!!

when i was in college i played with my fellow students, and kept winning until realized i was good at it and started to love the idea of making money out of it and socialize at the same time, and join poker communities:)


how beautiful, it’s the simple thing that we fall in love with. I learned to like poker after my old partner.

well, poker makes me realize that life has a meaning for me, I like playing poker not just for the sake of money but for climbing the ladder of success and reaching my goals in the end. I wanna play poker more and more and play in the best casinos in the world and see the world eventually for playing poker all over the world


how beautiful, it’s the simple thing that we fall in love with. I learned to like poker a while ago, with my old partner. I make my word yours. wonder and congratulations

I introduced myself to make money and kill time

only with these goals? Let's talk more?

Joguei muitos esportes enquanto crescia e tenho uma natureza competitiva. À medida que envelheci e não consigo correr e saltar, preciso de uma saída para minha sequência competitiva. Então uma das minhas ex-namoradas me apresentou ao Texas Holdem. Eu também tenho um pouco de TOC em mim. Então eu me me me me insusei em aprender tudo o que pude sobre Texas Holdem. Eu amo um jogo de pôquer muito bom!

I was introduced to poker by a natural curiosity, although I am not a fan of playing cards. Playing poker is turning from an earning opportunity into a leisure activity, which I am not very happy about.:confused:
oh, don't stay ... in life without wavering and we have to be prepared. but what bothers you? cool the way q started in poker

Once a friend told me about some small success in poker and I decided to try the Fifty50 tournament where I often managed to get into prizes knowing only the basics of poker and win 1$ where I managed to win 50$ for a long time.
cool, I'm already there. I'm happy for the achievements and for having the opportunity to get to know poker

I wanted to win a lot of money so I wouldn't have to work. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Maybe in the future it will work.
everything can work as long as we are prepared and dedicated to it lol. I'm more confused than I know what

Just like I said, I used to play a lot of casino and was constantly losing. One day à friend of mine sat down to play poker, at the time the only poker game I know,was from watching cowboys movies with lot of fights. Anyway,I started learning and found that I have some talent to be successful.

I wanted to find a game for the free time and also to have to do with money if possible, and so I discovered online poker situation. It became an occupation with a stable evolution and targets!

it is like that Sometimes we think we will earn so much more money we ended up forgetting the essentials that lead us to know, the path, the studies. it's your story when you enter Pouquer which is real, everyone thinks so

I accidentally got acquainted with poker on the social network VKontakte, I really liked the game, and for a long time I played it for game chips for my own pleasure. But one day the application I was playing in blocked me, after which I registered at PokerStars and started playing for real money.

what a beautiful story, the good thing about knowing how people will enter this field, poker, encourages and helps us in deciding what to want and how to seek the option of moving

I always played some kind of "game of chance and skill" be it different card games, playing pool, etc...
I used to play for money at the local firehouse which I was a member. Way before it became what it is today, back then if you wanted to play some serious poker...it came with a chance of being beaten and robbed. A lot harder to do that if I play online. lol

I started playing many years ago when I was working in the mines. We used to play Manila then, similar to Holdem.
Then they had it at the local Casino, then I found online poker. I wasn't very good at it, but was enjoying it.
Now it is banned in Australia. I tried rejoining party poker the other day but it wouldn't let me download it.
Have to wait until the local Casino starts playing again.

I was playing a lot of online chess. My wife said that she was surprised I did not play poker. I did not how to play but thought why not give it a try. So I joined PKR and learned the basics. Tens of thousands of hands in on different rooms and i am still learning but love every minute. Still play chess though!

Same here lol. I love crunching numbers so dealing with pot odds and constantly assessing your risk vs reward seemed like a lot of fun. I used to gamble a lot in the stockmarket, and gambling in poker can at least be just as fun and cheaper too. :)

I enjoy the challenge of playing and showing a profit.
Not many players consistently turn a profit year over year.
