I learn to play poker with the boys around the block and family playing penny poker. Sometimes just for fun to pass time away. Tne poker we played was not holdem it was 5 and 7 card stud, Hi and Lo Chicago etc. I learn the game of holdem from watching the TV. Then decided to try my game online a couple months ago. I love it but need to learn the finer points of tournament play. I get close to final table then push too much or play to tight and dont make it. It is a great game of discipline.

Wow cant believe how young u all are.
I learned to play in the college cafeteria (never took any classes) where we cleaned the fish w games like stud, hi lo (declare), draw and guts.
That was over 30 years ago.
Still winning, but you holdem TV kids gave me a bit of a learning curve.

I played off and on with friends and such, but never really got into it until an old boss of mine showed me party poker and thrilled me with his ability to turn a $10 dollar sng into $50 bucks in a matter of minutes, I started paying half the buy ins and splitting the profits, eventually I started playing on my own and have been happily addicted since.:hmmmm2:

Ive been playing cards all my life practically, as a kid i played brag and other games with grandparents, aunts and uncles for pennies. As I got older I played stud and other games with friends and work collegues. As for Holdem I started playing about 4-5 years ago after watching it on TV, soon after I started playing online.

I have never played live. All of my experience is online. I don't have the guts to put big money in. I don't think I would have a good poker face.....lol. Online is great though. Goodluck in the live games and get into the WSOP

i fell into the whole craze when poker got huge, i already had an idea but i never played online. i started playing with my buddies and they turned me onto pokerhost in which there were great freerolls to build bankrolls and the option to turn your play money into real money on sit n go tourneys. thats how it all started and i been hooked ever since

I learned to play in Boone North Carolina at teh local VFW. They sponsored my boyfriends dart tournaments, which would last 9 hrs, in the back room was a bunch of old guys playing ten dollar ring games, and they invited me to play on sundays, I didn't win for three months straight and then a little after that. Then it was on!
