I was raised by my Great-grandmother. We were dirt poor. Never had a TV, never had a Christmas Tree, no A/C and we lived in Texas.

From the time I moved in with her never had a new pair of shoes until I joined the Navy. You get the idea.

Anyway her son was a Wino (result of fighting in WW2) , I was 11 years old, we would play poker on Saturday nights for match sticks.

That was how I was introduced to the game 60 years ago.

Few years ago our Russian channels decided to stream few poker tournaments on TV. I think it was about 10 years ago. In that time it was really interesting and something new. So, that,s how i start playing poker many years ago. Biggest mistake in my life

A pleasant time and a nervous hassle))
And he started from the fact that I like a different kind of strategy)

When I was 15 with friends, after we saw Moneymaker win the Main Event on TV. I really sucked in the first game I played with friends, and I've loved the game ever since! I hope online poker gets regulated in more states sometime soon. Miss the old days of Stars and FTP!

Hi guys! I have a question, what prompted you to play poker? Personally, I first saw poker on TV, but I could not understand the rules. Then I read the rules, and in Google itself started playing. What did you have?

Approximately the same story. I watched several finals from the PS on TV. Commentators very brightly and colorfully described the game of poker. I decided to try registering and I got carried away)))

I started when I was stationed overseas in the US Army. Eventually every payday I was chasing guys down to collect IOU'S lol. I had to pay dome too. I'd have to say my crowning achievement was collecting $5,800 in IOU'S when we returned home after Operation Desert Storm. That's when the action really took off. You see, we were overseas for eight months, and I had friends with 8 months of tax free checks! Jaze's game was the best, because I always had cold free beer. Learned a lot in those days. I mostly play online now, and the games are much tougher!!! I do wish wed return to the good days of Full Tilt, Pokerstars, etc. The sites available to us now are just so so IMO. Cheers!
