Well, I've known poker for a while now, and the circumstances, that I've known it, it's been really fun.
I was walking down the street, and out of nowhere the poker appeared in front of me, and he kept looking at me, and I was looking at him, and a beautiful and great friendship was born there.
Since then he comes to my house almost every day, sometimes I get nervous with him, because I don't like it when he makes me suffer on the river.
But I know he doesn't mean it, he told me he's a bed beat, but I don't care to know.:ROFLMAO:

It was around 2008-9, we played a lot of french belote during our spare time at the university, one day a roommate introduced us to poker, he taught us the rules and we played a couple of hands. I found it a challenging game, with a lot of factors to consider. As I like challenges I started playing freerolls online and studying the game, I didn't stop playing since then.

My first contact was on a site called The Social Poker, I was fascinated as the game was free so I migrated to PokerStars.

I knew about this game for a long time, but never took it seriously.
But a couple of months ago my friend suggested to sign up for pokerstars and since then I've been discovering this fascinating world for myself!

A friend introduced me to the world of poker. I have been familiar with various card games since childhood and have heard about it before, but have never played it. I got tired of computer games and decided to play poker. What is generally happy, but there are also black days - it's poker!

I became interested in poker in 2006 after I finished High School. I saw a TV show where they played poker and I was immediately hooked and tried to learn as much as I could.

My acquaintance with poker was in early childhood with friends playing with matches instead of chips)

I've probably known poker for about 15 years. At first I watched television broadcasts of tournaments, at that time I didn’t even quite understand the rules and mechanics of the game. Then I played a game against the computer. Then online for play money. Then I tried it for real little money on PS. But I did not play all the time, there were big breaks for several years. And I never played live.

Many years ago, when I was still a young boy, I watched a native movie about poker in the cinema, which became a hit in our country. It was this impulse that fully exploded when Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP in 2003. Since then, I started playing poker seriously .
