Poker is sustainable only for a disciplined, well-prepared, and emotionally strong minority.

I was just curious, looking from the outside it looked so hard and cool, where I'm from its a game white people play, I wanted to learn and understand. It's been one of the best decisions of my life

My father likes to play, and I watched him play while he explained things to me, so I became interested.

I watched my uncle play poker as a child and I really liked the game. That's how I got into poker.

I met someone at university who played, he told me he was winning money and all that, it was the time when PokerStars was advertising it on sports channels and I started playing little by little on my own and I've been playing ever since

I became interested after watching an interview on a TV show here in Brazil.
She was a screenwriter who quit her job to make money playing poker. This really caught my attention, because before I saw it as just an ordinary game.

I think it all started with a Bugs Bunny cartoon with Yosemite Sam

Boarding school. Or starting from playing anime cards game like Yu Gi-Oh, or card games like UNO during primary school. In boarding school it’s Big 2. Using deck of cards, learning how to put cards sequences, straights flushes etc

I got into poker through curiosity at first seeing friends or online games and realizing it wasn’t just luck, but a mix of strategy, psychology, and math. What really hooked me was the depth of decision-making and the idea that you could improve over time and gain an edge. It quickly went from a casual interest to wanting to understand ranges, positions, and how to think differently at the table.

In my case, I was at the airport with a friend and we had to wait around 14 hours due to our flight being delayed. Luckily for us, he had a complete poker set with cards and chips, lots of them. We played for a long time and some people even joined our game. It was certainly an experience I won’t forget.

Zynga Poker! 😄

many people get into no limit texas holden through casual, social situations like travel delays or time with friends, what draws them in is the mix of fun, competition and the sense that skill and psychology matter over time.
