What year did you start playing poker?
How did you learn to play poker?
What heights have you achieved during this time that you met and learned how to play poker?
I will begin.
Poker taught me to play my own father back in 2009.
Poker is such a difficult game that I played it all the time in a minus and only since 2018 I started making poker, at least some money.
I play poker and try to beat the microlimits since 2018, since October I have been playing stably plus.

In 1997/1998 my dad taught me how to play Texas Hold'em with my brothers and we'd play with invisible money. Soon after he taught me Omaha and let me play for fake chips on his poker stars account.

I play poker since 2010. For the first 3-4 years, I spent money on the game. Then I started to make a profit.

Hello!

My Dad taught me and all my brothers when we were young enough to count. We'd play for tootsie rolls on camp outs and popcorn or pennies at home. We learned all the old bar poker games too like baseball, 3-5-7, between the sheets, etc...

I'm a newbie. I've been playing since spring of this year. And all because of the familiarity with the poker school pokerstars.

Early poker days

I learned how to play poker with a group of friends of mine that I worked with at the time back in 96 and Ive been playing ever since either with friends at house games or casinos in cash games or tournaments. I love the game

I started playing in 2005, I saw the game on TV professionals where Negreanu played. I did not understand the meanings of the cards, rules of the game, but I was terribly interesting. And then I started to learn to play poker online. But I had a long break. I played at Bwin and betfair, but we are close. Now I play on PokerStars and 888 and get a lot of pleasure from this game

I started playing poker one year ago. I watched live TV broadcasts and immediately became interested in this game.

I started playing with friends around 2007 and was instantly hooked on the game. I soon found Pokerstars and full tilt poker and didn't have to rely on my friends to get my fix. Then I picked up some books on poker and watched as much poker as I could on TV which gradually helped me become better at the game then when I first started.

Ever since i was real young, 6 or 7. Aunts, uncles, my Dad, taught me various card games and forms of poker and we had many poker nights, although my Dad denies this for some reason.

In 2002 when the World Poker Tour came out, i started playing online. Party, Full Tilt were sponsors, so naturally i played there.

I saw poker almost 20 years ago, but I didn’t add much value to the game, and more than five years ago in 2011-2012 I started learning strategies and learning to play free chips in different types of poker, now I play for money in poker - hold'em and Omaha and I try to win either in tournaments or in cash games, I wish you good luck in your games!
