How did you get to know Poker?

[radartodd69]

I got to know poker playing at a sports bar.

I remember the first time I won a tournament. When it was my turn to put chips in heads up, I actually had to have the game host put my chips in for me my hands were shaking so bad.From there on in I was hooked.

I have loved card games since my childhood. We often played with friends, including five-card draw poker. And when I was 15, the movie "Casino Royale" about the James Bond was released. We were interested in Texas Hold'em and we began to play in it. And when I was 24 years old I learned about the opportunity to win money in online poker. Since then I have been doing this on weekends.

I knew Poker for curiosity, I do not remember the name of the movie, but I remember playing 5 cards. Classic Mafia movie in the 80's ... Cigars, whiskey ... I went searching and went deep into Hold'em. Today I complete 6 years of studies and games.


And you, what's your story with Poker?

I got into poker by first watching WPT in its inaugrual season.


Then saw a tv commercial of online poker and ever since been playing for 14 years.

It all started a long time ago. I love playing cards since childhood, I played different games but there was no poker, then I hung out on slot machines and a friend told me about poker stars, so I fell in love with poker from the first look hahahaha

I started doing Casino, and that's when I found out.
I haven't played Casino for a long time now.

An online site called pokerroom dot com over a decade ago started me on my online poker journey. I have seen many poker sites come and go. and many poker forums have fallen to the wayside. Cardschat. One of the few that are still standing tall.

Somehow I accidentally looked at the final poker game of professionals on YouTube. I decided to try my hand at this game and started playing that way.

I've played cards for as long as I remember. My first introduction was rummy and blackjack with my grandad. Then when I was 12 or 13, my older brother taught me how to play poker. Even though he crushed me, I was pretty much hooked from that moment on. That was 20 years ago and although I've taken some time out of the game a few times in the middle, I love the game more than ever.
