I started at 14, it was just worthless chips, and just for fun.

I was actually pretty old the first time i started playing poker. Its actually pretty ridiculous how i got into it. My cousin and I were playing the video game Red Dead Redemption and there is a part in the game where you get to play poker. We spent more time playing poker in the game then we did anything else. I fell in love with it. The very first time i played for real money was at Hollywood Casino in West Virginia. I bought into a $1/$2 game with $100 and ended up leaving with over $800. I had a big hand with ducks, that pot was around $500-$600. I hit a 2 on the flop giving me a set. It ended up being good and the feeling that i got when i scooped those chips was almost better than sex. I still get an incredible feeling whenever i win a big pot. Do you remember your first time playing poker? And do you remember the first time you won a real pot playing poker?

I got to know poker very late so when I got to know I already started playing for money when I was 32 years old

Yes, it was a freeroll for 10,000 people, I won first place, it was cool!

The first time I played poker for real money was when I was 40 years old. These were $1 tournaments on Full Tilt.

I was in my 20's when I started playing poker. I was introduced to the game by a couple of friends after we came home from bowling. I didn't know what I was doing but I was instantly hooked. I began to play online and this was around the time that you couldn't turn on the TV without coming across poker being shown on TV. After reading some books I began to take the game seriously and it remains one of my hobbies to this day.

I started poker at the age of 28.

Sometime between ten and twelve years old so I'll say since I was eleven. Westerns were big on television when I was growing up in the 1960s, and poker games were often seen on the shows. I'd always loved cards and my mother and father taught me how to play for pennies. On Saturday nights when the Lawrence Welk Show ended we'd play until Gunsmoke began at ten. TV westerns were also the birth of my love for firearms and shooting.

I also started playing late for my age. I have never played live poker. Only online. My first big win is 1st place with a prize of $725.

The first time I sat down to play poker when I was 50 years old, now I'm 62. Years flashed instantly.

nachopaulo · Aug 23, 2022

I started to get interested in poker when I was 18 years old, but I started playing for real money about 2 years ago, after watching several games streamed over the internet and studying the game through books and tools, that was already 24 years old.
