The beginning of a poker career

What made you play poker? Or what inspired you to play? Maybe after watching a movie or reading a book or advice from friends? Can you tell us a story how it all started?

About 4-5 years ago I was watching broadcasts of EPT tournaments with open cards. Learned the rules. I was 14 years old then, among my friends no one knew how to play and did not particularly strive to learn. Because of this, for three years I practically did not play. Then I started playing for play chips. Played for about six months or a year with long breaks. I turned 18, signed up and for the last six months I have been playing on PokerStars for real money. As soon as I registered, I started trying to get out of a zero bankroll. In part, CardsChat freerolls helped me with this.

it all started with watching a tournament on the YouTube channel, I don’t remember which tournament and who played, I just liked it and I decided to play too, and to this day I play poker such a story

I heard that some of my friends from school talked about poker, but it did not interest me until I saw it on TV for the first time. I was immediately hooked and I learned the rules and joined Pokerstars and I wasched and read about poker as much as I could. That was 16 years ago and I still want to learn and to play as much as possible.

I first came across poker when I was a kid. At that time it was Russian poker, it is different from Hold'em, but even then I wanted to learn how to play well.)))
Now I play at PokerStars and try to do it well, but it's not very good.))

I started to play poker when I was 18 (long time ago..lol) after watching the main event of wsop on TV. I started to play the free sit'gos on Everest Poker (sadly this poker room does not exist anymore). I quit poker when I was in college and in the pandemic I returned to be a regular online player.

I started playing poker in high school seeing other colleagues playing, I joined them and since then I have not stopped.

I started playing poker because I was very interested in watching this game on TV
