What got you into poker?

  • Start date Start date
My friend introduced me to poker, on his birthday he showed up with some chips and taught me how to play, like always when we get together to play board games.
Then he came up with this novelty that I still have and it's been about 6 years.
 
My brother and I would play heads up without chips (keeping track of bets on paper is a nightmare) for fun. Eventually I started to get more into it competitively and play online.
 
Appetite for money.

The only thing that took me to the poker tables was the fun. Now I have developed a little more appetite for money.🙄😎
 
i needed a new activity

to challenge myself , study and concentrate . it seemed like the perfect choice because it can be fun too !
 
hello

I started playing with friends I really liked the game and since then I have not stopped playing for more than 13 years it is part of my life I always dream of becoming a great player ...
 
I watched a poker tournament, and was amazed that these people were playing with $100 mil stacks so I kept watching until I realised that I was an idiot. By that point I had figured out that I liked poker though.

Beating all the kids at school in homegames
online poker connecting my love of gaming and money in one

Was pretty easy to get hooked after that :deal:
 
In my case, we always got together with my friends on weekends to eat (a barbecue) and we always played poker. As a result, around 2014 I started my account at Pokerstars and from that moment I started playing online. This game is beautiful !!!😀🙂
 
One friend in our company shows us the game and we start playing in home games one or twice a week and after that i open an acc online
 
I was taken to poker more by my friendship ten years ago, which is still going on
 
I started playing on some gaming website, researched and got to know pokerstars, that was in 2016.
 
I saw my brother playing it online back in 2005 and initially I thought the game was stupid but after watching him for awhile I became very interested. I then started forming games during lunch break at school and most of my friends were clueless so it was an easy meal every day 🙂. This was during the poker boom and my obsession grew since then.
 
Playing Magic The Gathering competitively.

Switching to poker saved me a lot of money.
 
I met him unintentionally through a friend who played and he told me that he earned money playing card game on the computer, I did not believe him until out of curiosity he opened an online room for me and since that date I have not stopped playing poker, but not I give it full time, if not as a hobby.
 
What got me into poker, was mostly curiosity, was I able to survive in the games and how much money, did I have to spend on it.

A friend of mine played poker and he told me that he spend $100 a month on poker.

I decided to try and play as long as it did not cost me any money.

CC free rolls kept my bankroll floating and got me into the tournaments on PS.
 
Primeiro que sempre ostei de jogos em geral, e cartas comecei desde cedo com meu pai . Mas o poker veio quando meu irmão mais velho começou a jogar.
 
I learned about poker watching family play home games when i was a kid. It always looked like so much fun.
 
When I was in high school, and college, we used to play, and I usually came out ahead. I quit, after someone said: "Hey, you can see the cards in his glasses!" That's many years ago, and I decided on that day, that I would never play face to face, again......and I haven't.

I didn't get involved again for many years, until Paradise Poker came along, with online poker. So, now, I can wear my coke bottles, and play unhindered.

I'm still winning, but barely enough to say I'm still winning...lol.

btw....Paradise Poker, at one time, offered a free poker set to all their active players, in an attempt to stay afloat. I got one, and I still have it. It's in a beautiful metal attache case, and the inside has remained untouched except to look at it. There are 2 decks of cards, six sets of chips, and a dealer button.....all still sealed. It is totally awesome.
 
Televised poker got me interested and pretty much taught me poker. Then I started to go to the casino with a GF that liked to play the nickel & dime slots once or twice a month. I did not so wondered over to poker and watch and then entered a few charity tournaments, won 3 of 7 (only about 300 people ea) and I was hooked.
