I got acquainted with poker in 2011 and during this time did not achieve any significant results! I'm still learning this game and for a year in a more serious style,before it was just a hobby,now I want to do poker brought me income and most importantly satisfaction! To learn poker at the level of a professional would be very interesting to me, this is what I strive for, and money is secondary!

I met poker in 2011 on the wsop broadcast, played only with fictional money and in september 2018 I started playing with money (I quickly lost all the deposit). I started reading and watching videos on the internet and understood that the game was much more than I knew.

What heights have you achieved during this time that you met and learned how to play poker?
I will begin.
Poker taught me to play my own father back in 2009.
Poker is such a difficult game that I played it all the time in a minus and only since 2018 I started making poker, at least some money.
I play poker and try to beat the microlimits since 2018, since October I have been playing stably plus.

I honestly feel bad for you. This could be a Movie. :(

I started Online in 2005 and got to have 6 tables open at once. Then I went Casino. Spending upwards of 600 a weekend Playing/Losing/Winning.

Then I moved to a State in the USA that is crapola for casinos so I stopped.

Here I am. Just playing (for fun freerolls).

I began to play poker in 2016, I learned to play while watching TV on a tournament, I like to play aggressive poker, I like to control the situation in the game.

I do not remember exactly when, but I learned playing with my parents another type of card games, over time and to give it more variety and trying other games, I finally learned to play poker but without betting. Maybe that's why I'm so bad

I started playing over three years ago.


No history of gambling, my family never played any serious card game let alone poker. I slowly got more and more interested in watching poker videos on line then live streams and finally signed up to PokerStars initially. I leanrt everything on-line.

I got into it around a decade ago. Back then I used to be part of a gaming forum and we would play poker for play money to win forum gold and buy equipment for our characters. Never really won anything but it got me really interested in poker and poker history/tv shows.

Good morning everyone.
I started playing poker, 29/09/2108.
In sharkscope, this is my first Mtt date.
Sharkscope is a site that is used by players who want to know if a villain or villains are profitable. It is a site that stores a lot of information about the amount of Mtts you have played, whether you finished at the beginning, the middle or the end, and lots of other information that may be useful for you to make better decisions against your opponents.
I learned how to play poker by watching videos of the best online poker players, learning how they make decisions in every situation.
I'm following up on Twitch broadcasts of a not very technical poker player who doesn't use HUDs and yet he has a 2019 profit of almost $ 50,000.

I already had some good results for a beginner player, I set up a freeroll with 2906 people and I won a ticket to play a $ 109 Mtt, I finished 3rd and I won $ 200.
I spiked some Mtts and made final tables of others, but I know I have a lot to learn.

I started my poker career two years ago. It all started when I watched a game of poker on YouTube. We played the last final table of a very large tournament. So far, I have not won anything major.

I started playing in 2005 in a home-game. Playing poker cured me of my social anxiety.

Pokerroom was the first poker site that caught my attention. Closely followed by reeferpoker. Most of these sites just gave away money to get you to play on their rooms. Miss those days.
