Hey, guys!

When and how you learned to play poker?

I’ve learned a few years ago by playing no money tourneys. I used to play with a guide by my side to know the order of the good hands.

When I was probably eleven, fifty eight years ago, westerns were a big thing on television and there was normally more than a few scenes of people playing poker. I loved handling and playing cards so poker interested me. My parents always encouraged our interests so they endeavored to teach me Saturday nights between when the Lawrence Welk show ended at eight, and Gunsmoke began at ten. We played jacks or better draw, five card stud, and "seven toed pete" which is a nickname for seven card stud. I even got a set of chips in a circular holder with S&H Green stamps. :)

I learned way back in casual live sessions with my friends.
Only recently started a bit more seriously, in the pandemic times when i started playing online and read some materials about poker

Now I specifically looked at the registration on the site where I started playing poker, this is 2014. I played there for play money. It's strange that I've been playing for less than ten years, and it always seemed to me that I've been playing for at least fifteen years.😀😀😀

I've been playing poker for a few years now, but only online, and it all started because of a video game, but I've told this story here several times, I don't think people will want me to tell this story again.🤔😁🤣

I started 16 years ago after I watched an event of wsop on TV. I learned to play looking for the rules on the internet and started to play with play money, but a couple of days later I was already playing with real money.

I started playing on a Facebook play money poker App. It was a good way to learn without risking my money and I took that option because I was underage
