I always liked the game against people and not against machines! one more challenge that I wanted to face!
 
once my friend was talking about poker and I registered, made a deposit, increased the amount deposited several times and I was drawn ...
 
After my Mum passed I found a lighter with poker stickers on it in one of her coats, I played shortly after and it has become my main passion in life.
 
I played all sorts of silly games on my computer as a pastime. My son once asked why don't I play poker? At the very least, you can win if you do well. That's how I started online poker. This has been over ten years. Since then, poker has still been just a pastime.
 
whom whom, but I was led to poker at first just a desire to play and excitement like everyone else ... well, then the excitement turned out to be stronger than everything else ... unfortunately, it is not always successful

I started to play with college friends.

When I was a stay-at-home Dad for 9 years (worked evenings/weekends opposite hours from
my spouse) I discovered on-line poker.
It was a chance to hang out (virtually) with folks that were toilette trained and it was a great way to maintain some sanity.

I started to play back in the 80's, with friends.. Mostly 5 card draw, pregnant threes, that kind of thing. I got into online play around 2004..
 
Television

On television, I saw him on the sports channel, I even remember that I saw him win over Esfandiari.
 
I started to see it and like it (from the age of 10) thanks to my father who liked to watch it on television
 
Pretty sure is had something to do with an ordinary unknown man winning a wpt or something like that! The tv coverage after moneymakers win was insane poker was everywhere!
 
Once a family member asked me to play a cash with friends in person, it was my first time playing poker, that day I managed to get $50 the buy in was $5 smal blind 0.01 and bigblind 0.02 I was fine happy with the profits for being the first time playing, many said it was beginner's luck 😂..
 
in poker I found the joy of playing and the pleasure of the game itself, plus it's a good way to relax with friends, to laugh, it's a complex game and I really like it 🙂
 
My father and mother , got me into poker. When I was younger they played poker, with my uncle's and aunts. They would come over , to our place and play poker. Every Friday nights and Saturday nights. They had a blast ,with all who played. My brother and my sister, would love watching them play. Money always moving from , one side of the table to the other. Learned a lot from watching then play poker. That's why I got into it at a young age.
 
I started playing about three years ago. I started because I was bored. And now I regret that I didn't start playing 20 years ago, because poker is the best card game in my opinion. I play at home and only online.
 
My friend, coming to visit me, sat down to play on my computer at Pokerstars. I Unwittingly witnessing his poker game became interested and involved in the process😀
 
I have been playing cards since childhood, different games, but poker is the tip of the iceberg
 
I was watching poker on TV and it got interesting, so I started playing poker stars and it became my hobby, and later I started making good money from there.
 
Hello everybody ! poker showed me my brother! and the younger one))) I did not want to waste time and study for a long time - but once I got caught !!!!!
 
It was definitely the freedom to potentially play for a living one day. Seemed like a perfect fit, doing something I love, being my own boss.
 
I knew the game of listening. But I didn't even know the rules. A brother-in-law started playing live and introduced me to the basics of the game. So during the pandemic I had idle time and started playing. But it was CardsChat that kept me in the game. After I joined this community I didn't stop playing anymore. I have learned a lot since then.
 
A few friends from talked about it and we played 5 Card Draw once but I did not like it. Then one day a Late Night Host hosted a SNG and we watched it at home. I was hooked immediately. At that time some of mine were already on Pokerstars and since then Poker has become part of my life.
