Poker

I started playing poker relatively late in my life. This happened in 2016 when I was already 48 years old. Of course, young people play better than me, but this is only because they are tougher. Sometimes I just do not have enough physical strength for long exhausting MTT tournaments and I drain my stack and go to bed. It's stupid, but your strength is running out.
 
I started playing around 19 or 20 in some home games. Then went to a place where 18+ was casino age, tried my luck at some card rooms there, and was hooked ever since.
 
He was almost 20 years old.

Before playing on Facebook, Zinga Poker, then I met Poker Star, I knew you could play for real money and I fell in love. 😀
 
I started to play when i was 12 and we were playing with 32 cards you get 5 cards and you could change up to four and then we were betting, 4 players max.We were playing for our pocket money.
And then old love awoke maybe 6 years ago...
now I'm playing everyday and love it.
 
I've never played live poker before.I really want to win in tournaments,satellites, to get to some grand tournament and prove myself from the best side!
 
I wanted to add that it's called the Moneymaker effect but had Phil Ivey won or Sam Farha I think the popularity of the game would have been the same. Espn did such a great job with the hole cards and telling each players story. It was exciting and new and I learned how to play just from watching the pros and one amateur named Moneymaker.
 







I started playing poker at the age of 19. I played freerolls like any beginner and researched every possible type of poker to play

Evolved amateur

I began playing poker at 16-17. I was so amateur back then. Now I think, I am still an amateur but an evolved amateur lol
 
When my friends and I were around 12 years old, we met for a poker tournament. Everyone paid € 1 and the first two divided the prize money among themselves, the first receiving more than the second, of course. At that time we had no idea about strategy. We just played to our liking and it was fun. Today I am very interested into poker strategies. I always analyze my game after a session. After all I want to get better and it interests me.
 
I started at 18 years of age, I met the game through some friends in college and since then I was hooked until forever

Me too. 23 I believe - give or take a year, but I'm virtually certain I was 23.
