As it is well known a person is not born learned, But in your case how was your first experience playing poker?, That caught their attention or because they wanted to learn to play
I think my first poker site was pokerroom.com. The idea of being in a poker game while on a computer in the comfort of being wherever in the world I wanted to be was an awesome feeling. No more being stuck at a brick and mortar building 3 hours away in a smoke filled room.
I started playing it 15 years ago and the first time I saw it was on television and I liked it and started looking for information and the first time I played it was in a casino
The first time I saw how poker stars played poker on TV. I was interested in watching them. I tried to find the poker room on the Internet. And now I've been playing for 3 years.
Long ago about 12 years ago I saw how people play poker and I liked this game, I started looking for teaching materials and learned how to play and now I'm playing and trying to win money, I like playing poker!
My first experience was back in 2010 when I was 18 and I learned from my friends how to play the game and then we played aand... I kicked their a$$es (or Aces). I think I was lucky or something. But I'm also a fast learner. My friends thought they would teach me how to play just so they can get money from a beginner but it wasn't the case haha.
