Yes, I remember those golden days for poker, I'm afraid this will never happen again. Poker stars did a lot to popularize poker at that time, as much as I watched live broadcasts.

the one who invited me was a friend of mine in 2012 I would never have imagined that online poker existed before that I watched a lot on television and today this friend who referred me is playing professional tournaments and I am still in the basics but will soon be in the same movement as him

My boss invited me, I worked at an alcohol plant, and on the weekend when I was at work my coordinator who was also my friend called me and invited me to his house after I got off work and so on. I did.
But when he got there he put me to roast meat while he played poker with his superiors and other coordinators, in the course he called me to the table and explained to me how he played, I understood the dynamics right away and got out of there earning half my salary.
That was in 2009, after that he referred me to the pokerstars site, since then I play poker.

I started watching Pokerstars tournaments on TV and I was impressed how a player doesn't only depend on the cards they have in their hands to win, but must also know how to read the other players at the table, because even with marginal cards you can win if you have a good reading who is at the table.

Poker is a mix of luck and strategy, and that caught my attention, so I started playing about 4 years ago, recreationally to get to know the game, and about 1 year ago I started to study to do well in games and that I enter.

Some colleagues. The game was €0.20/0.40 with max buy-in at €5 and 12 players at the table. That was 13 years ago and I'm still laughing when I think about it.

When I was a student, my friends and I often played poker live, it was not like classic poker, more like gatherings with humor and beer. I didn't think about online poker until I saw the 2010 wsop series, then I started watching the world series of other years and was finally ripe for online. My first room was pokerstars, and I lost my first deposit of $20 in 3 days.

I started playing myself. When mobile games appeared. I played with play money chips, learned the combinations myself, only played the map, because the opponents were computer ones. Then I started watching poker championships. I remember how poker broadcasts were held on Tuesdays (European series of poker, VSOP). And then I got acquainted with online poker rooms.

Watching Daniel Negreanu on Canadian TV. In this poker game a password was given that you could enter in a Freeroll on PokerStars and win real money. I think it was every Saturday night.

I first learned to play live poker maybe in 2006 or 2007, I used to go to the casino 1 or 2 times a month with friends, then in 2012 the government banned casinos in my country, so I had no choice but to play online.
