Who brought you to poker

[hamon08]

I don't even remember exactly how it happened. But it was probably one of my friends who suggested playing poker when we were at a party, my friends and I didn't understand what he was talking about, but he quickly explained the rules and we started playing. This game seemed very exciting to me and to this day I play it all the time)

Picked up poker from my friend I met at the bar. He was playing for a long time already (still does) when I met him. It wasnt money that drew me to poker. It was his sheer enthuisasm when talking about poker. He really loves that game and that made me pick up poker.

I knew about the existence of poker from about 12 years old. Then, at the age of 19, I started playing free Apps on the Internet using play money. And when I was 20 years old, I went to a live poker club for the first time. I don’t remember how I ended up there. I remember the moment when my friends and I stood inside, then we sat down at the poker table and started playing. The first impressions were incredible from what was happening there. I always played on good cards and from the first day I started winning little by little. I began to have free pocket money in order to refuel the car and go somewhere to relax with friends. That’s how I started coming to this poker club almost every day. I made new acquaintances and after some time began working as a dealer. And for 14 years now this sport has been a part of my life. Fate brought me to poker).

A loved one of mine told me about poker

I started playing at college when a friend introduced me to the game. I remember I wasn't very good to start with but read many books to understand how I could play better.

A few more friends started to play too so has become fun to play with those friends still.

What brought me to poker was boredom. One day I had nothing to play, then I felt like playing a card game, I ended up finding a poker game in the App store and after that I never stopped.

I do not knew it exactly. It was over 20 years ago and there are two possibilities. At first i see it in tv. And or me it was interesting to see how the game works. These was a other time and legends like Doyle Brunson were famous. Another chance was in my first days of studying, my roommates are playing online and that catches me.

My older brother needed an extra for his weekly poker tourney. I became a regular and have loved it ever since

I always like to play card games, in my country we play a lot with Spanish cards, that lead me to want to learn and play poker, after see that I can make some extra bucks online, I like it even more, and now I want to become a semi pro player.

Nobody took me to poker. I only met him one night in a bar in my city and from that day on I fell in love with him as a great mental sport.

I got to know poker by watching television, some final table broadcasts of some tournaments.

I remember that Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey were some players who appeared frequently.

Hello, it wasn't a person, but it was a LAPT poker broadcast on spn, which gave me that passion for this great strategy game, from there I met pokerstars, where I started playing. I learned about poker by broadcast and I hope to make it to a live tournament like I knew it. Greetings

It was an old colleague of mine who taught me how to play poker, I realized it was very competitive, like card chess.
Nowadays I don't talk to him because he was fake with me but at least he taught me the basics of this wonderful sport!

Once my boss took me to the casino, we bought $100 worth of chips, where he showed me what poker is, and we didn't play very long. They left with a profit.

My family has always played poker/cards, I played as a kid and now, since I started playing on PokerStars, I have been playing online and with friends, on PokerStars almost since the beginning.

My dad was always good at cards because he could memorize every played card without effort. On a weekly base he played 5 card draw with his friends and usually won some money where he always gave me a piece of. I was maybe 5 or 6 at that time and it fascinated me that you could get money due to playing cards. Sure wasn´t a big step to learn it myself and win my first pots vs. dad.
