my brother pulled me in, showed me pokerstars and I made my first deposit and tried. After a few spins & go I hit 200x and won. It was a lucky beginner, for the next 5 years I hit a maximum of 25 times in spin & go.

pretty cool, gaarsiass. I never spined so high? I think the highest was 200-300 dollar in an 1-3 dollar... ähhmm. Okay, really strong, gaars, I just made the second... ;(

At one time I was looking for where I can play poker online. My friend showed that there is a PS site, it was 7-8 years ago. Before that, I played 5 card poker (Russian poker) when I was a student in a casino, but then I moved to a small town where there is no casino.

Hello.
My colleague at work often played poker and gradually I also became interested. About three years have passed since then, and now poker is my favorite hobby, which always brings me pleasure and sometimes also brings money.

I know some of my friends playing poker and after watching Daniel Negreanu videos in some tournaments, I am really fascinated and have become a poker player.

Watching a broadcast of an EPT event was what got me to poker, especially when the commentator mentioned that you could play from home

For me it was the pre black friday poker boom. At this time online poker was completely unregulated and it was everywhere on TV and internet commercials. It was easy to get interested.

Hi.
I started playing poker, 4 years ago, at work because I had a lot of free time during the day. I have changed jobs several times since then, but poker remains my favorite hobby.
Good luck.
