What was your introduction to poker?

[BOTAFOGOES1]

I met poker through a TV show that was playing every Sunday. And you? How was your first contact with poker?

First Time

My younger brother invited me to play a .25/.25 home game with his friends. I was nervous that I would just lose all my money, so I tried to study a few YouTube videos, but they were mostly the SUPER introductory stuff. I also played on the Facebook App.

I really enjoyed playing live, and there was a single particular hand that got me hooked.

I was in position, and I turned the nut straight with the backdoor nut flush draw. We ended up getting it all in, and I failed to hit the nut flush (which I needed). I lost the hand, but I was excited to have correctly known where I stood in the hand.

Following that, I studied and started playing freerolls on BetOnLine. About 3 months later I played my first $40 live tournament at a local charity room, and I took 1st for a prize of ~$535. I've been grinding ever since.

14 years of age at a pool hall, I saw the players giving money to the guy passing the cards out and asked why they were giving him money, they said to deal so I asked to deal a game.

First contact don't even remember, probably with someone of the film. But the second after which seriously interested in poker is a television program. I confess I was already tempted by gambling. Poker was the next step in evolution)))

it's thanks to friends that I learned to play poker. I remember to have made big gains from the beginning even if I did not master the game at the time. I was young and a little alcoholic suddenly he always had a good atmosphere.
