I have always been attracted to card games, in Argentina a game with an air of poker because of the essence itself is the trick ... a typical Argentinian game, but when I met poker I was instantly caught when I played it with friends more than 20 years, and about 10 years ago the game almost daily, greetings

When I was 22 years old, I started playing sit-and-go Fifty-50 tournaments for $ 1.5. then I thought that the tournament is one table of 9 people. After that, I became interested in poker, its understanding, strategy, while YouTube gave me lessons for beginners from the leading players of the poker world. Having mastered the first basics of poker, I began to play better and even win prizes. I started playing multi-table tournaments on micro-limits more often. This is how I started in the poker industry.

Hello. Growing up in a rural area, there was only a few ways to entertain ourselves. Playing cards was on that list of few. Even with nobody else around, there was always Solitaire.

I took up Poker after watching "late night Poker" with Dave (Devilfish) Ulliot R.I.P.
Other great players were lads from the Hendon Mob, which included 2 brothers, one was a T.V. actor from the "London's Burning" series.
I remember trying it out for play money on PStars, and could not understand why I kept losing, So I watched a bit more and it dawned on me that you cannot possibly play every flop. So I made myself a little phrase that I still follow--

If you have not paid, you don't need to play,

Meaning if you don't post a blind and your hand is trash just bin it. you really don't need to play it.

The boys played poker for money in college, and I became very interested in their game. I started watching different videos on YouTube, looking for different information about hands, how to play them, etc. That's how I learned about poker)

When I moved out of my mothers house, my roommate was very into it. And he would win big money so I decided to start playing too. Not sure how long it would have been if I didn't move into his house.

My roomate at the time... Started playing poker online with his girlfriend. Well play money and stuff. But i was judging them and saying they are just gambling online. Till one friday night we had a few people over and we lacked a fun activity to do. Then he suggested let us teach yall poker since we got cards lying arround and a bunch of coins in a jar. Between boredom and learning poker we all opted for poker.
And its been four years since and i don't regret that day

I think I started playing hold em on Xbox. Someone did teach me stud as a kid (not for money), but I can't remember how.

Gigio22 · Sep 7, 2020

I had friends who played it. It looked like fun so I ended up learning how to play.

I started playing with college friends when I was young, except one of the so-called friends was cheating. Left a very bad taste in my mouth and never returned to poker until 2004. I started playing live live with a friend I made while visiting my parents in Phoenix Arizona. Then when I came back home I bought some books and studied and then began playing online as well as live when I could. I stopped playing for a few years after my kids were born but now am returning to the game.

I started playing to learn a new card game, assuming it was like any other game. I was seduced by the pokerstars commercials on television "play and learn poker." I learned the basics, I was surprised by this game that I only knew that its cards were different from the ones I knew (Spanish cards), and I found a whole world of strategy and psychology and more ...!

I play poker for money and for fun, so I combine pleasure with utility. The most important thing for me is fun and entertainment. Meeting people from all over the world is really cool!

I started to play draw poker when I was very young, maybe 12 or 13. I played with my father, who played a lot with his friends, and my brother. Of course we did not play for money.
