Lesvos greece about last 12 years, my friends got me into poker and more
 
once at work there was no work and someone suggested playing poker, told the rules, instead of chips used matches, and it was off, first in breaks at work and then at pokersatrs....
 
This is the search for something new that will absorb me completely, and so I came to poker, and the event is the final of one of the largest tournaments in the Las Vegas casino, with the show of closed cards, then poker was at the very crest of the wave and everyone was passionate about it.
 
Late Night Poker on T.V.
I have always loved card games like Brag, Don. Cribbage even Whist and Solitaire, there is something Comforting about holding a deck of cards in your hand, and I had played Draw and Stud Poker in my younger days, But it was this T.V. show that introduced me to Texas Holdem. The simplicity of game play, having only 2 cards in your hand, Yet the Intricacies of how the hand changes with every stage of the game, Pre-flop, Flop, Turn and River.
I started to play for fun on Facebook and other game sites on-line, and did pretty good, Then one night I asked my wife if she minded if I played for real cash on-line. She was dead against me gambling away my money and I made her a promise that I would never deposit a penny on-line.
So How do you play for money without depositing any cash? Free-rolls.
That's how I got into on-line Poker.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
 
10 years ago I saw how a young guy (16 years old) earned himself a new computer and did not believe my eyes! 🙂
 
Watched poker streamers on twitch for some time and then decided to try it myself
 
I was brought to poker by a difficult life situation, I prefer MTT.
 
A friend of me played on Everest poker before it was at Ipoker and that was nice better than what it is now, my fiirst winning was on a freeroll and I won 17$, I was so happy, that was 17 years ago I think
 
A few years after I graduated from college, most of my friends started learning how to play poker for two main reasons: 1) having seen the movie "Rounders" and 2) watching Moneymaker win the wsop on TV.

competitive spirit, additionally I love statistics, odds and numerical challenges ... the competition itself
 
😎 my fondness for achieving perfection, in terms of mental abilities and skills, which serve as tools to generate money without the need, spending hours working in the office or as a laborer, or on the street or any other type of work, has also always called me attention sports betting and that's the way I get to poker. 😛

If you lose, don't get frustrated , understand, you did your best ...
 
I remember I saw an ad for a poker game on my phone. The graphics and game-play were really attracting so I installed it and played for a few hands. Since then I was really interested in poker.
 
I've always liked card games.
I was looking for a good game online, and I found poker.
 
The first time I played poker was with some friends. I quite enjoyed it, then I found out about online poker and started playing it.

My brother and my son played poker many years ago and they were very successful. It was easier then to make money in poker. The level of players was not very high. And that got me into trying poker for myself. However I never had the same success as my son and brother (they made tens of thousands of dollars).
