I started because my vision was about the results it could bring to me... and it's been a kind of years since I started.

When I started to study and aknowledge that it's more than that, that poker can help me be a better person, that I can know better about people, negotiations, strategys, perseverance and much more... now I'm just grateful to know that even network I can do with Poker...

Poker is a way of life!

When I was 12 years old, I heard my cousin say that he made money playing games, and I always thought it was impossible to learn because I thought it was too difficult.

Approximately 7 or 8 years later I became interested in learning how to play, I installed a great App to learn, it's called Mega Hit Poker, there I learned the terms of poker, combos, sequences of hands... After 1 year of learning, I installed pokerstars and dedicated myself to learning more

I started playing online poker about 15 years ago.. played on and off for a few years then stopped for a long time.

Recently got back into playing again regular after I discovered CardsChat. It's much more fun being able to chat to other players and get involved so I'm enjoying it a lot more than I did before

Why did I start playing Poker?!. Because before I quite a lot of time played in Chess and Checkers, and therefore I wanted to check self in this game...
But Poker is absolutely another game! In Poker, by compare with Chess and Checkers, the many things depend on Luck unfortunately, or to happiness!..

I started for fun, I continued for pleasure, then I studied and continued to improve and today I continue with the illusion of winning a big tournament that is profitable.

My perants were big card players. Bridge, Whist, Solo, Crib etc, etc. Poker was just one of the many cards games they taught me.

Because of my family, they started playing before me, and to have fun with them on the weekends, they learned to play poker, that was 12 years ago.

I met my wife and decided to retire a couple of months later. Her being familiar with the Vegas area and being a good poker, figured I would like poker and got me interested in the game. Little did she expect me to take to the game like a duck to water. I have been playing now for 16 years and the more I learn and play the more I realize how much of a genius she is about the game. I know consult her on the game and find her advice mirrors that of many teaching pros.

You can consider it as a hobby, like chess, for example

I needed a way / hobby to exercise my mind in the time available (which was more frequent in the past), I believe Poker is a good option for this.

I started playing poker after watching it on late night TV on Channel 4 in Scotland and thought it looked really interesting and more importantly fun! Then I started playing in a weekly game with friends and watched a lot more and learned a lot and have never looked back since! :)

In the beginning it was just for fun, but when I started to earn money with Poker I saw an opportunity to supplement my income, and who knows how to make a living from it in a while, I invest a lot of knowledge to make this idea possible.
