I was a student, went to the casino and played poker, 5-card poker. Also played roulette. That was about 25 years ago.

I always liked card games and I know a lot of them. I met poker a few years ago watching a wsop broadcast and I was amazed by the game and I searched the same day about the game, but I never went deep in my studies. Late last year I decided to read and watch videos and try to improve.

I was searching for a really interesting game on line. I did not like to spend my time killing monsters or destroying colored bubbles! Some moment the search engine presented poker results. I tried it and I liked it very much. I play poker since that little discovery!

Simple story, mine like others from poor countrys, was a good way to gain more than a salary and was much easyer cause wasnt needed to get out from house and in that period a lot of freerols but the regulation camed and was more harder cause the promotions dissaperd and was much harder to make money cause they all had acces to information. Still hope that this poker industry will change and get back a lot of promotions and many platforms to chose from.

I am a tour guide in a tropical country doing quite expensive tours and serving wealthy customers. One day I had a customer who professionally plays poker, it is his way for leaving and he doesn't do any other job. He was my inspiration to start playing poker. I am not too good, still tour guide, playing poker for very small money. :)

I knew how to play poker for a long time, but I was not very keen on playing, and then I also saw Daniel Negreanu playing and I really liked it and I also wanted to play and win something, and I started playing PokerStars and now I play and sometimes win in the game when I play my card well in the game, I like poker and when I have free time I spend there!

How did you start playing poker? Tell your story.

I always liked cards, backgammon boards like chess lady and other games,
but I started playing poker after watching a poker tournament on television, which had a player like Daniel Negreanu, give but never stopped playing poker


I originally started as a kid. We lived out in the country and on really hot summer days, my mom would drag out her big old change jar, divide out the money between herself, me and my brothers and we would play poker all afternoon.

I hadn't played in years and though the "poker boom" was non-sense until I started dating a professional "grinder". This gal would sit at the 3/6 limit table and just murder everyone. Through her, I started playing and developing my game. Eventually, we broke up, but there are some good memories there.

Hello.
I play poker for about 1 year. As soon as I started playing, I immediately fell in love with this game. Since then, I play almost every day. I get great pleasure from this great game.
