Who taught you to play poker?

[discintildeath]

Learning to fly!

I learned to play poker a little from a "friend" and mostly from trying and failing so many times. Still failing more than I am succeeding but I am now able to play freerolls and not lose any of my paycheck. I just have to be more patient before I can really start to build a bankroll. It sucks I never had a good friend to help me with all of my tells and my shortcomings but I am someone who mostly learns from failing.

I learned watching TV on ESPN when I was going through full tilt poker, I interceded and I started to like Poker. then I started to read about poker there a friend of mine told me about pokerstar I downloaded and I started to play and it's been 6 years playing poker!

I taught myself.. I just looked up the order of hands strongest to weakest and memorized it as I watched the fundamentals of the game on ESPN the year Moneymaker won.. Thinking in my head the whole time... "I can beat a lot of these guys".. lol

When I was a child we played with friends in the courtyard

When I was a child we played with friends in the courtyard, then I grew up and started playing the conditional chips on the Internet. A few months later my friends and I came to a club called Joker, and started playing tournaments with rebuys of $ 2, where I immediately began to show good results and took prizes. After that, I started playing cash, and every day I went to the club and played cache at nights. Today 8 years as I play poker, I like this game, but unfortunately in online poker I have not achieved results yet.

Poker learned to play with friends after giving one of them a birthday poker set. Since then, we regularly meet poker and drink beer

Doug Polk is the man that I learned everything.

I learned it the worst way possible. There is a difference between knowing how to play and how to participate. I won thousands at the $1/2 at my local casino when I first started playing.I kept hitting two pairs.That got me addicted...little did I know that they were pseudo victories. I later lost like 3 times that but didn't realize at the time. Eventually I learned from mistakes and learned to look at the game objectively. Now I can play OK...small profitable player as long as I BRM.

My dad. I watched him play online as a teenager.

I learned alone on an old gaming site, but I spent some time ... about 2 years so I can play more frequently, online and live too

In 2006 i had a poker game on ds, after beating the game many times i thought it was very easy to play poker, in early 2007 i joined pokerstars and soon realized how wrong i was, got some books by Ed Miller and watched a ton of videos.
