What made you really want to play poker

pokerD · Nov 8, 2022

I love this game and, of course, I want to make some money.

Ultimately, I think the decisive factor was the enormous offer around the clock and being confronted with it in some way almost every day, whether on TV, online, advertising, etc....

The energy that corporations invest in marketing and promoting this game keeps you bored and keeps you engaged like no other game

Add to this the possibility of interacting with people from all over the world, the gambling factor, ... it is so extensive that it does not run out over time, as is known from PC games or something similar like chess! The fun level stays high!

I use to watch it on tv then I looked for it online 20 years ago but only found tigergaming but now I play on pokerstars

koirajore · Nov 8, 2022

I saw poker tournament on TV and also played poker with my friends.

Negreanu and Dwan made me fall in love with poker tbh , like their playstyle

fullclock · Nov 8, 2022

He made me play poker when I saw friends get together to play in the bars where I used to go, so that game began to attract me and after several I started playing it.

I started playing poker once I was old enough to fan the cards out in my hands (we started off with 5cd. draw).

I was motivated to begin playing poker again after watching hundreds of tv commercials for Fulltilt, Absolute Poker/ UltimateBet, Pokerstars & Partypoker. I had loads of fun in that first year & discovered the Cardschat forum & a few others, including Railbirds, HoldemPokerChat, PocketFives, SuitedPockets, etc. etc. There were dozens of forums back then.

My only regret was not playing LOTS more! I've always been too busy even during my off hours while not working (ie. holding a job that required me to be on-call 24hrs. a day, 7 days a week; having a very ill partner who I take care of and who is still extremely ill today; raising my grandkids with one of them moving into my apt. at the time). More recently I have been trying to commit to play a 'full' 'part-time' schedule (you know like 3days/week) but it is just not happening as I am STILL doing the same things I was doing 15yrs. ago.

Maybe 'next week' I'll start playing...

God Bless you sir
Persistance is the strongest winner

When I first played poker I was 9 years old, with my father, my uncle and my grandmother.
In general we played nice Spanish card games, but from the day I played poker I realized that it was the game I wanted to play all my life.
I started playing 5 cards, then I also played omaha for a long time until I dedicated myself exclusively to holdem because it is the most popular version and the one with the most tournaments.
Although if I could I would only specialize in 5 cards and omaha, which are games that I like much more than holdem
Cheers

I dont know much about 5 cards and omaha,if iam right i remember being the worse in omaha XD
I feel better in NL holdem,even with the bad beats XD

I always loved card games & I always loved money, so when poker came around it was the perfect fit

Watching Rounders gave me extra interest in it, but I already had the bug

Once it went online that was a dream because I'm a gamer since my early years

I guess you could almost say that poker was kind of made for me (Or i was made for it!)

Cool mate,you a pro?
Iam trying really hard to be a lucrative player
God Bless

I actually started playing because I had free time and didn't know what to do. More than 4 years have passed since then, and I play regularly, on average 4-5 days a week. Poker is my favorite pastime.

Hello brother
5 cards is traditional poker. It is played with 5 cards in hand and you have a bet and a discard that can be up to 4 cards, and well, there you do the game with your cards just like Holdem with the community ones. You bet and after the final bet the cards are shown to see who has the better game.
And well Omaha for me is the most fun, it has much more variants than holdem and much more game comes out. In Omaha if it is worth going to see a river The outs in certain cases are many, which also does not mean that the hand is won because the nuts are generally very large.
It is a game where the 4 quads, the straight flush and the full house come out a lot.
With the other games, straight flush, trio you also win, but in truth a supposed flush does not guarantee you anything, even more so when in the community you have 2 equal cards for example 22 55 99 it is very dangerous, they almost always do you or you can do full.
It is a very funny game.
And well, we must get used to badbeats in Holdem hahahahaha

A hug brother, very good post

First it was for the prizes and for being a math game, and secondly for meeting people from another country.

a career that could end quickly by winning a wsop

Lipki3 · Nov 11, 2022

I play because I like this game. Well, a small cash inflow is also never superfluous.

I liked it a lot since the first time I saw a TV broadcast from WSOP, even not understanding the game at that time.

A emoção de saber qual carta virá... E com isso aplicar estratégias para vencer outras pessoas. This is pleasant, not for the money, but for the emotion

A hobby that brings pleasure, you can play from any device where there is an Internet connection and the opportunity to earn money.

I think that poker is the funniest way, altought not the easiest, for my financial independence.
If I really have to work hard on something to flourish on life, so it be by doing something that I love.

Vrotebal · Nov 21, 2022

Poker is the best card game in the world that can still make a profit

SL-247 · Nov 21, 2022

The very principle of the game is captivating. A mix of unpredictability and logical thinking.

hennessy5 · Dec 2, 2022

Making money playing cards is just so satisfying. +It fun especially against friends

Felecamo · Dec 2, 2022

I watched it on television and I didn't understand anything, I researched what it was and I ended up loving it

Gotmog1 · Dec 2, 2022

When I was a kid watching Western movies there often played poker. And I wondered how to play it. Later he looked in the evening of Hold'em evening and studied the rules there.

What made you really want to play poker
