Why did you start playing poker?

[Igor G]

I like to read experiences, just out of curiosity

I started playing poker about 6 years ago. I started because I had a lot of free time and I was bored. Now, due to the war in my country, it is difficult for me to find time to play. Unfortunately, very often there are problems with electricity and communication.

Hello
Basically, I've always played board games
but it was by chance that I played poker.
and I have been playing poker for 15 years now

I always loved playing cards, and I came across poker when I watched James Bond on TV

 

[Rahatis]

I started clearly for fun. Played for a couple of years with play money then slowly got in love with the game and moved to real money. It's still about fun but the definition has changed to winning plays and results.

I was interested in this game and decided to learn how to play

Since a close friend of mine has been playing poker for years, I was interested in giving it a try. I also want to replace gambling with poker

I started playing with some friends after high school. I still remember getting my first ever straight, keep in mind I thought a straight could run from KA234. I fought for the pot, my case was that I was ignorant to the fact, this was also my first big poker loss.

I started playing out of curiosity and then I started to like even more that it is handled with probabilities

My Grandfather taught me to play long ago, not sure if I should thank him or smack him at this point but either way it's too late now

I started playing poker just to have fun with my friends. After that I never stopped. When I found out how to play poker online, I liked it even more.

[miriancastro]

influenced by my husband, now I love to play

my younger brother infected me with poker

 

[airxlns]

It is chess with cards, for me anyway... It allows me to change strategy effectively and have fun while doing it. And if at the end of the day, I will make some beer money... It's a welcome bonus.

Hello, personally, I started playing poker to make money, I thought it was easy, but in the end I realized that it is not quite easy

 

[dregan]

I've been gambling cards with friends since I was young. Then we grew up and the game went into oblivion. And then suddenly I saw a game on TV by poker professionals. It was interesting to try poker and remember my youth.

 

[Dimidrol2]

I've played board games before. P Walker tried it in adulthood and from the fact that he was tired of computer games

 

[GarotoMaroto]

Its a ''simple'' game,and if you do well you can win a lot of money,some good reasons right XD
God Bless

I love strategy and poker is an interesting test of peoples thought process without being too complex.

I was always interested in reading people so the bluffing element was a big part too

After playing a few times I was addicted.

I watched PCA long time ago on youtube. Poker rules looked very easy and exciting that's why I decided to join pokerstars. The reality was not so easy as in TV and maybe that's why I'm still play and learn

Just out of curiosity.
Well, then I got hooked.
