Once I was watching a video on YouTube and in the recommendations I got a live EPT tournament. I looked, I liked it. I studied the rules and taught another 15-20 people.

Hi there nice question and my answer is a weird one.. i really dont know. I remember watching some poker games when i was a child i believe it was on ESPN but when i started playing with friends (no one knew) and i was teaching them how to play i sort of mixed things like i thinked that your hand could only be made of 3 board cards and the 2 on your hand

It was Daniel Negrean who drew me to poker. I love his playing style. Between 2007 and 2010 there was a high stakes poker tournament on e2 CNBC-e and I would watch like crazy at night.
Every night Negreanu old wolf Doyle Branson and his son Branson
I would watch professional players like chubby Sam Farma sexy Jennifer, Tony, Antony, Iran Isfendiari and learn tactics.
I wasn´t invited to play poker, I was invited to go to the casino with a girlfriend. I never play machines for any reason, so after walking around for a while I decided to sit down at a poker table. I won a few bucks and have never looked back.

I started a long time ago, like 10 years after I saw him on ESPN, when Daniel Negreanu played with his charisma and relaxation of playing even if he is playing thousands of dollars, a professional player would like to be one day and have the same mentality as Daniel and his charisma that characterizes him, before if he knew poker because of the bad reputation they had in the movies as a game of gangsters, cheats and criminals but I saw that it is not like that, it is a game like any other, although if you do not control yourself betting clearly you can lose too much just be in control of yourself and don't rush into gambling if your income is less.

to be honest I didn't have a teacher or someone to introduce me to the game of poker; I just discovered it myself :)

The one who invited me to play poker was Daniel Negreanu, he came to my house to ask me to lend him some money, so he could play the 2022 Wsop, so I lent him on the condition that he take me along to play, and he agreed, when we arrived at the casino, I tripped, fell and woke up.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I met poker when I was surfing facebook, it came up in an ad and I was watching it and I clicked on that ad and it took me to a video, I liked it a lot, and I started to investigate what it was about and the rest is history, I loved it and I do not regret having known it.

Same with me. Back then, from 2008-2010, there was massive advertising for poker in germany, so that I also got a taste for it. After that, we also started playing at school and later took part in small tournaments. The step to party poker was also not far away.

The first time I became very interested in poker was when I saw a Pokerstars ad with Cristiano Ronaldo, and before that with Rafael Nadal. I was very impressed by this, and I started diving more and more into poker, and then I started playing

Probably, like you, I was attracted to poker by Daniel Negrean, Doyle Branson and other players in the distant past.
