I would be one of the many that watched Chris Moneymaker win in all from entering a $40 online satellite. After that I started to learn how to play Holdem.
Bought a bunch of books. Harrington on Holdem was one of my favorites.
Watched every poker show on TV. You could says I was obsessed.
The most influence on me had my friends. And now they inspire me to play and win!

Hello, my case is different than yours, I saw an announcement of pokerstars, and I wanted to know what it was about, after I met him I knew that I wanted to be better and so I was learning to play, until today.

My older brother used to have poker tournaments at our house when i was about 12 or 13. I thought it was really cool and learned how to play at a young age. I played online for play money and learn a little bit about the game. Coming back to it now that I can legally gamble has been tons of fun.
