Have you played other card games before playing poker?

As a child, in the family circle, they constantly played different card games) And when the guests came.
 
Only Solitaire and the Pokémon TCG. Can't really say they particularly prepared me well for Texas Holdem, lol.
 
I played several card games when I was a child and when I was in school. Just when I finished school I started to play poker but I always was interested in card games 🙂
 
We all have at one point, but if you are referring to money games, I was into Euchre growing up. Was never big on giving my money away at cards and poker seemed to be the best way to loose it, so never played.

Black jack, a bunch of Mexican games. And also did card magic tricks. Then I rather make money appear instead of cards.
 
I had to learn to play poker to play a game called Michigan Rummy. The opening of the game was a hand of poker for the POT and to decide who would open. I was about 13 or 14. I played War at about 5, and Canasta at about 8 of 9.

I started playing Rummy with my mom at a very young age, before I was in school. Then we played Pitch a lot then moved on to Pitch 5-9. We played all kinds of card and board games.
I started playing poker pretty young, for pennies at grandmas house. I always remembered to bring my container of coins whenever we visited.
Then as a member of our local volunteer fire dept, we played all kinds of card games for money. Dealers choice.

Hi all, Yes! Magic The Gathering 🙂 Released in 1993, Magic was the first trading card game and had approximately thirty-five million players and over twenty billion Magic cards were produced in the period from 2008 to 2016, during which time it grew in popularity.
 
Yes definitely, I played what here in my country is called loba y cachos, so when I started playing poker it helped me a lot to understand how to win due to the hands that the game commonly has.
 
poker

Yes, I used to play preference and a throw-in fool. These games require a very good memory, just like poker.
 
Many card games

I've played sooo many card games. To many to count. I was brought up in the time when playing cards was a thing.

Omfg I still love Euchre. One of my favs next to poker. Then rummy.
 
Of course, I was familiar with cards, but I didn’t play any games, and for money.
 
fool and blackjack, but these games are not as interesting and exciting as poker for me
