I played with my frinds when we were on school.
It's was no limit holdem on, the buy in was something like 1 dollar, everyone had to bring enough penny, dime to be playable.
Nice old times hahah

The first time I went in a casino I played a satellite for about 3 dollars but I was playing poker at school with friends before. We were playing cash games with about 5 dollars.

My First game was a live $45 Tourney at the LINQ in Vegas....I lasted all of 45 min...but from then on i was hooked. Love playing small stakes cash and low buy-in tourneys. Best ive done is 3rd place in a tournament.

I first bought into Pokerstars probably back in 2008. My initial deposit was 400$ in hopes of striking it rich...though I ended up going broke by the next month...its a long hard road in the life of a poker player! All the best, good skill!

The Indian casino on Orient Avenue in Tampa Florida. Long before it became the Hard Rock. They only had stud and omaha games. I always bought into 1/2 stud for a 100. I was 19 or 20, been tooo many years to remember :)

My real first game of poker was a freeroll that I played online and it was at an online poker room called Minted Poker.

Start of My Poker Career

I remember the first time I played poker, which was in my high school at the age of 15. At this time in my poker career I was like every other rookie poker player, thinking top pair was good no matter what. We were watching a movie as a class but there was four of us that sat next to each other, and we decided to play poker. We would rip sheets of paper into small pieces and each piece represented a quarter, everyone would start with 2 dollars worth of paper. we also had only one blind cause that's what we decided on. I remember losing 1.25 dollars the first day, and I was so mad and upset at the same time. Now, I'm 18 and I play live at Chicago Charitable Games, where this last week I won 650 dollars in two days.

The first time played with my roommates during my studies. But they didn't explain me how to play. So I lost very quickly. Then this game seemed to me very stupid. :p
So I left it for 6 years. :D
