Neat post.   I technically started at around 7 or 8.  My dad taught me 5 card stud and would dump out his coin jar when we would play.  Once I got the gist of the game we started with the same amount of coins ( typically about three bucks, pennies, nickels, and dimes ).  If I won - I would get to keep the 4 or 6 bucks.  If he won - I had to do a chore of his choice.

I really started getting into it at about 15 years old.  That's when I would watch it on TV with my friends and started really learning how to play NLHE.  That was back when like Chris Moneymaker won the main event.  We would stay up for hours on Saturday nights, slamming monster energy drinks and playing $10 SNGs.  I eventually graduated to the local 18+ Indian Casino in California, Morongo.

15 years later ( I'm 30 now ) and still get so much joy out of playing.  My " professional " days are over but I am bed / couch ridden for the next month or two.  Definitely grateful for the millions of hands i've played over the years :)
