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:cool:

I learned on pokerstars I played playmoney for a year. Picked up a ton of bad habits. My fiance was big into poker, and althouth until I was 45 I never played a hanfd of cards, I wanted to have a common hobby with him, since he hates to fish..LOL I was hooked right away, and went to vegas for the first time right after. Am I ramblin? LOL well he passed away, but I still play online everyday. A true passion. Also I love this group, Im just shy about posting. See ya on the felts! Thank you CC for all you do!

Hello, this is my first thread, and since is the first one there is one question I would like to ask you all, and that is "how you started playing poker?". Maybe some family memeber taught you about it, or you watch it in youtube and thought it was cool and you try it?


For me it was looking at my dad play at pokerstars when I was a kid, he used to play a lot and sometimes he even ended up falling asleep while playing freerolls. Then, one night when he fall asleep I continued playing for him and ended up winning, imagine my excitement, after that I started to watch videos and study the rules and I have to say that I really like playing poker and I get so much fun with it.

So.. how you started playing poker?
Hello.I learned about Poker,or rather about Pokerstars,and saw it on television.That was a long time ago )

interesting question well, well, I didn't know anything about poker. I worked as a dependent in a furniture factory, but there was a relative of mine who played online who liked computer games since he was a child since Mario bros appeared. pacman, tetris and well he played online poker and he told me that he won real money for a long time I never believed him, until out of curiosity I opened a poker room myself, which was 888 my first room, and well there I started to play That was about 8 years ago, now I am 42. My relative who I tell you played in poker stars and I became supernova in those times, well I started playing at 33 or 34 generally freeroll and from there I was encouraged to deposit 20 dollars I opened a bank account, always with help because I do not know well about those things,and until now I always play almost always for fun sometimes I want to take it seriously. But as I always have a job eventually in that factory I have never been able to dedicate full time to poker, so I am not good at playing.

I started playing poker in high school. I watched Mel Gibson movies, and I really liked the game. Played five card poker. Then I took a break when I was ten years old. And then in 2020 I sat down at the table again, but now it's Hold'em.

I've heard that poker is the easiest gambling to earn. I started playing poker as a result of various thoughts that I wanted to earn quickly for the future.

I started playing poker during my summer vacations as a child. I learned from my friends who knew the game well. It was always a good time to spend my time while on vacation. I loved the game then and still do love the game today. Good luck to those who play.

Played poker in a video game for Nintendo back in the 1990's. That was a long time ago. I learned the five card draw method of poker from the game. I did not start playing Texas Holdem until the early 2000's. I've found a second hobby to video games it's Texas Holdem. I've played Omaha before but I like Texas Holdem better than Omaha.

Started playing live with play money with my brother. Then transitioned to online play money and eventually online real money. Took me a while to even understand the fundamentals of the game :)

I was 14 and was working up north with my uncles and learned to play all kinds of different poker games. I also even learned how to make different alcohols from like moonshine to wine and brandy. Oh yea they had big mud trucks and guns and rocket launchers and stuff like that so we always had a blast whenever I was up there. Good luck.

What an excellent start in such a beautiful sport my friend, mate I started playing poker only when I was still a teenager, I started playing plants vs zombies and I liked to manage my resources and I looked for a related game and surprisingly online I found 888poker its registration and its no deposit welcome bonus, I entered with that money to a tournament in which I won about 5$ in my first game before playing I read a bit about this game and I took the plunge for that reason even now it became more than a game if not my life.

I started playing draw poker when I was still a child because my father introduced it to me. We played with my father and my brother. My father usually won. My father played quite a lot with his buddies. And I started playing online poker about 10 years ago because my son was very successful at it. The level of players was quite a lot lower then and one could make a little bit of money. Now a lot of players have done their homework and the level of play is generally much higher.
