Good day everyone, my name is Alexander, I'm 31 years old and I'm from Ukraine. I make custom-made furniture. Before the war, everything was fine, there were orders, there were jobs. I have a daughter Nicole who is 2.5 years old and my beloved wife Marina. When the War started, there was much less work, no matter how it sounds, and I came to poker for money (((since there are few robots and the baby has to be fed and clothed!!!
How did you start playing poker?

My brother introduced me to online poker- then to live games. We liked to gamble and love cards- curiosity also played a big part. Winning is always fun- dopamine blasts rock!

Sorry to hear your history :(
I hope you can have success in your poker carrer,
I started playing poker around 16 years ago after watching an event of wsop on TV and I thought it could be a fun way to win some money.

Honestly not so much (but I'm not giving up)

Of course, if you play without knowing how it's all in vain...

I did not specify what kind of game brought me baldness after years of playing it and what led me to play it during free hours at the university: D

Once upon a time, with a group of friends, we always watched football on TV on Saturday nights. But since Barcelona always won, we started playing poker.

I also started thinking about changing my life, but after almost 4 years I think I changed my mind more.:unsure::unsure::unsure:
friend, I hope that all is well with you, your daughter and your wife.
you win as you wish, but poker is a game of losing not winning.
You will lose a lot, but much more than you will gain, I hope you have the serenity to bear this.
may God bless you and enlighten you.(y)(y)(y)

about twenty years ago I got into a casino, then they played five-card poker, that's how I met him, and since that time I have been playing poker, if you devote a lot of time to your game, you can earn money with poker!

Hello Alexander.

We have a similar situation with you, I also had a job (although it did not bring me much money) and in connection with the war I also had to look for something else. I had never played poker until now, and I wasn't even interested in it. But thanks to my friend Mikhail, I tried to plunge into this most interesting world.

So, we will gradually learn, share experience, and of course win. Good luck on the battlefield! :):cool:

I started playing poker 12 years ago. I started because I had a lot of free time and I was bored. Since then, poker has become my favorite hobby, which always brings me pleasure and money.

Hi, friend!
I watched my colleagues play live poker, and soon I started myself. Now I only play online.

A friend of mine was playing with play money online for hours everyday. After watching him for a couple of hours I got hooked.

I started it for the fun of it but soon realised its also a quick way to make easy money (most of the times). The intrigue and strategy is what keeps me me going. Playing in person is also fun trying to read people, something you don't get with online playing

Друг привел меня в покер давным-давно. Но потом я отказался от покера. И теперь я вернулся и играю регулярно, потому что у меня нет работы. Да, сейчас нельзя по-настоящему играть в Одесской области, сейчас со светом плохо.
