2003, after watching Chris Moneymaker won the wsop (I caught the Moneymaker bug). Learned strategies immediately, read poker books constantly, played on pokerstars a lot. Made money. God bless Chris.

In 2016, I saw EPT broadcasts on TV, where I learned that it was possible to play online and started trying to play in my free time. I liked it, I started watching tutorial videos to play better, but I don't have much free time, so I play for fun, mostly freerolls and inexpensive tournaments.

Cheers

From argentina, co.ence to play a while ago, the truth is that it bothered me that my husband played and spent his time on the computer, one day I sat down he taught me some things then he created an account and here I am enjoying the freerroll:)

I hadn't even heard of Moneymaker but my friends put together a $10 home game probably around 2004. I showed up for some drinks and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

Made it to my first card room later that year, good ol' Canterbury in Minnesota. Can't believe I ever played 2-4 Limit lol.

But since then it has been a life long passion of mine.

I started on pokerstars with play money, then then build up a small microstakes bankroll from freerolls.

I started playing poker in the country. we were 13-14 years old, we played for pennies. it was fun, then I found out that there is online poker - it was a brain explosion. full tilt poker.

I started playing at the age of 18, but I had to quit because my parents did not accept my choice. But now I have resumed playing

Where and when did I begin to play poker? My family used to have an extended family "reunion" once a year, they would rent a tent or picnic area and there would be food , music, and of course, kegs of beer. My father taught me to play small change stakes poker. Once he had a few too many, he would hand me his "stack" and tell me to have at it. He is the guy that taught me to only play serious on straight poker games, he hated when dealer would call "wild card" games. LOL- it is so funny how vivid my memories of this is still to this day. R.I.P. - Pops. I still miss you !
