Hehe... Read the comments and smiled. If I say that I was struck by the game - it will not be true) But the truth is money! I was amazed by the millions in prize money. I then still thought as? How do rooms distribute such money. It was only after a while that it dawned on me that it was all calculated. And that people will a decent number of
 
Hi the All CardsChat Community! What struck me the most, when I started to play in Poker, these are how easy and quickly may
climb up, opportunities win the different money (sometimes with zero), and after yet easy and yet more quickly the All lose, and may be more... And after the All may repeat, and etc... These are how Roller Coaster! Such a Compressed Life, where often going the same, only more slowly, or may be more quickly...🙄

Most of all I was surprised by the unpredictable chances of the bank and with what ease it is possible to get into tilt.)) Romania and Brazil players who push with any card A also continue to amaze.:icon_joke:top:
 
The first thing that struck me in poker was play tight and win.

When I started playing poker, I discovered that this is an ocean of money, travel and a great lifestyle poker pro. Photos of poker winners at the mountains of money aroused my imagination that someday I'll be the winner 😀

I started becoming fascinated with poker watching You Tube videos...and then I decided to learn and play on line with play money (actually had no choice).

The first thing to strike me was what it was a shock to see how wildly, how farcically people were playing on line. After watching the top pros play, you presume everyone is out there learning the game, studying, trying to improve.

They aren't.

The biggest surprise I had when knowing poker, was the news that players arcaba with their own expenses and could generate a profession this beautiful game

I believe it is not very easy to start in today's times, but nothing is impossible.
It is important that we fight and have perseverance!

Good Morning ! I also agree am today thinking that poker is harder to play many very good players studying the game and playing a lot.
 
i was surprised how many people don't care about their performance but only want to make a huge bluff or bully players....

consistent good finishes mean nothing to them....

Probably the difficulty of making a regular profit even at the lowest NL2 online cash tables. I thought from the reading online, it would be easier than it was at these levels and that I would move up levels faster. Also, how patient you have to be playing the right hands which made me understand one reason to play more tables; to not get bored and play hands that I should not.
 
When I starter playing poker I had what people call beginners luck.. So I thought that this is easy money, then I won my first live tourney and I thought that I was a better player then the rest of the local regulars.. But as my luck went a way then I found out the hard way; that poker is not as easy as I thought. So now I'm working on my game and reading more to help my self in all my weakness of my game..!
Good Luck every one..!
 
How bad everyone was. But that was 17 years ago. Now everyone is good. It's much harder to make money at poker than it use to be. Much harder. Everyone got better.
 
How often I can lose when I have the best hole cards even after the turn.
 
I was struck by the fact that poker is very difficult to win a lot of money, I thought it was much easier
 
I was amazed at how different the game was than what I remembered from all the times I played poker as a kid. Most of the times, it's not about who can make the best hand. It's about who can best take advantage of their existing situation. I'm also amazed at how different each game can be depending all the variables:

- cash or tournament
- buy-in / stakes
- live or online
- casino or private game

I also find that no matter what game I'm playing, I can always learn something new.

when I started playing poker seeing my father and his friends to play at my house, I soon realized it was a dangerous and addictive game, I saw people selling their objects values ​​to continue playing.
 
That min cash is lower than 2, 2.5 buy-ins. It is hard to stay profitable.
 
For the first time, when I learned about poker, I was intrigued by the prize payout to the winners. It also seemed incredible for a very long time to be in the game and sit at the computer.))🙂
 
when I first played poker, I was struck by a wide range of emotions that can be obtained in one tournament from tears to wild laughter and great joy!
 
not as easy as it looks on tv

my preconceived idea of how easy it is to win at poker from watching on tv was quickly changed as I bled off cash rather quickly. It took me appx 5 years to become a somewhat competitive player.
 
Six years ago i signed up for Poker Stars and got into the wonderful world.I was very emotional and thought it would be boring to sit for hours at the poker table hoping to win a few dollars.But the result exceeded all my doubts.Joy,anger,shock,surprise,doubt,perplexity,satisfaction and a bunch of different emotions.Play poker,love poker and someday this amazing game will reciprocate!
