Hi the All CardsChat Community! What struck me the most, when I started to play in Poker, these are how easy and quickly may
climb up, opportunities win the different money (sometimes with zero), and after yet easy and yet more quickly the All lose, and may be more... And after the All may repeat, and etc... These are how Roller Coaster! Such a Compressed Life, where often going the same, only more slowly, or may be more quickly...

When I started playing poker, I discovered that this is an ocean of money, travel and a great lifestyle poker pro. Photos of poker winners at the mountains of money aroused my imagination that someday I'll be the winner

I started becoming fascinated with poker watching You Tube videos...and then I decided to learn and play on line with play money (actually had no choice).

The first thing to strike me was what it was a shock to see how wildly, how farcically people were playing on line. After watching the top pros play, you presume everyone is out there learning the game, studying, trying to improve.

They aren't.

Probably the difficulty of making a regular profit even at the lowest NL2 online cash tables. I thought from the reading online, it would be easier than it was at these levels and that I would move up levels faster. Also, how patient you have to be playing the right hands which made me understand one reason to play more tables; to not get bored and play hands that I should not.

When I starter playing poker I had what people call beginners luck.. So I thought that this is easy money, then I won my first live tourney and I thought that I was a better player then the rest of the local regulars.. But as my luck went a way then I found out the hard way; that poker is not as easy as I thought. So now I'm working on my game and reading more to help my self in all my weakness of my game..!
Good Luck every one..!

[Ranish625]

I was struck by the fact that poker is very difficult to win a lot of money, I thought it was much easier

 

[kowrip]

I was amazed at how different the game was than what I remembered from all the times I played poker as a kid. Most of the times, it's not about who can make the best hand. It's about who can best take advantage of their existing situation. I'm also amazed at how different each game can be depending all the variables:

- cash or tournament
- buy-in / stakes
- live or online
- casino or private game

I also find that no matter what game I'm playing, I can always learn something new.

my preconceived idea of how easy it is to win at poker from watching on tv was quickly changed as I bled off cash rather quickly. It took me appx 5 years to become a somewhat competitive player.
