Hey CC friends.
Do you remember what was the thing which made you fell in love with poker ?
Well I was laying in my bed and suddenly some memories came to my mind. So, I decided to write them on a blog.


I hope you enjoy this small article.
https://chulpipoker.blogspot.com/2020/04/poker-in-my-life.html



Going to an Indian casino when i was 18 for my first time ever being in a casino. Drove 4 hours with $400 in my pocket which was a lot for me back then. Sat down at 6/12 with it not really knowing where i should play with that bankroll. Got down to my last 2 big blinds after losing a hand. Did my first ever F it im all in without looking, i remember a lot of people calling preflop so there was a decent amount for me to 5x or 6x up. Didn't look til it was time to show, had J 4 offsuit, two 4's on the board. Took that one down. Sat back down for about 18 more hrs and walked away with $2,200. Been hooked ever since, 16 years.

Very good story, I like it more than anything due to the fact that it was your dad who started you in the world of poker, I went to see pokerstars to see what Texas Holdem was, I received courses and I remember that every time I played they were all hands all in when an ace came out haha ​​super fun, everyone at the table annoyed, then one day my dad sat at the table with me and told me that he also played poker, he showed me his strategy plays and from then on I have loved the poker. I hope someday with dedication I will also become a professional and represent my country as one of the best poker players in the world :D

I have already asked myself what is so interesting about poker that it has become my main hobby, but unfortunately I do not have an answer, maybe I have a gambling addiction

For me it was combination of old western movies with the poker boom before black friday. Back then there were poker ads everywhere as well as shows like high stakes poker and poker after dark. It looked like easy money game when you see how these people were playing for thousands of dollars without hesitation. Moreover online poker back then was completely unregulated and there were freerolls and free money to play everywhere. Well it all changed after black friday. :)

Black Friday was devastating to the US players, but not the rest of the world. I used to play with a lot of Americans on PokerStars before Black Friday. Now it is the rest of the world.

Poker is such a wonderful and addicting game. Teaches everyone to be patience.

Many will agree with me that the feeling for poker is twofold. You can both love and hate him :). But still continue to play and play, and again believe and hope that you will reach the finish line))

More a love hate relationship with poker. When you can do something absolutely correct but it doesn't reflect in the results. Probably why I keep coming back for more!

Poker in my life takes enough time. This activity became my hobby, and to do something, and not be carried away is a waste of time.
And poker taught me a lot, here are a few things: patience, self-discipline, etc. True, I have big failures with managing a bankroll.
Is that love? I dont know. But poker is part of my life.

Why do I love poker? The main reason is the money that I earn by doing it. I play it for almost 2 years and I can assure my family with all we need because I earn a lot of money by doing this. I find many opportunities for poker and other casino games on https://onlinecasinogo.com.au/ where is a shortlist of top Australian online casinos that were analyzed and tested to make sure they absolutely match up gamblers’ needs.
Online casinos in Australia face tight competition for loyal customers, that is why they want to keep their regular users happy by offering them go-to loyalty programs and VIP statuses. Players are awarded free spins, tangible gifts, cashback bonuses, and other goodies for accumulating a threshold amount of loyalty points. The player is enrolled in the loyalty program automatically as soon as he registers in an online casino or makes a required deposit.
As can be seen, I love poker for its opportunity for earning money.
I too love poker. It si my favorite game. Intelectual game**

I liked poker as an interesting exciting card game. I generally like all not venturesome card games. And poker is also a game of chance.
