on a poker site called THE SCORE just played for play chips and points, no real money was involed then, but now i been playing real money for a couple years now. enjoy the tournaments more than the ring tables
I learnt the rules of texas holdem by watching poker on t.v. 🙂
The one which is harder for me to play is 7Stud Hi/Lo, i still can't imagine what's the best starting hand for it. 😀
Anyway, i learnt Razz, Omaha and 7Stud by playing online, and then discovered the tuff HORSE. I would say that i didn't understand yet some pokers like Badugi which keep on being a mystery for me. 😱
I know there are some i didn't try yet, but as i mostly play online i wait for a room to offer new poker to play.

Learn To Play Poker
My gosh it's been so many years ago I can hasrdly remember. I believe between my Dad and my Uncle John, those two taught me the most about the game. Now back when they taught me this game, there was no such thing as "hold-em poker" or stuff like that. Most of it was just straight poker or jacks or better and of course "21". That had to be back in the mid-50's to late 50's. Too many years ago to really remember.

That's quite early. 😱 My neighbors don't play poker and my friends thinks I'm to good so they don't want to play with me netiher. 😕 So mostly know it's internet. Used to play with my grandparents but they're to old now so... 🙁 I want to go to vegas but i think you got to be 21 years. That sucks...
At the beginning I played poker with my friends and now I like to play online too.Mainly I play at the micro-limit tables or Sit&Go´s.
Another very useful page is IntelliPoker where i learned a lot.
Sometimes I also play little tourneys.

i learned to play on an online poker TV show called Poker Night Live in UK - was fantastic, had pro's presenting and special guests too- remember sitting in 0.50C/$1 with Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot once upon a time- he didnt know how to use the bet bar to raise on the Microgaming Network and raised preflop for $96 with A3 by accident, eventually losing all of the show's Christmas party bankroll- funny times 😀
PNL was on sky 843 in the UK, its not on anymore- went bust last year. bit of a shame. Think it had a lot to do with Rupert Murdoch who owns sky. and he launched his own poker channel- Sky poker on 846. and its absolutely crap if youve seen it lol 😀
Originally, some of the guys in highschool would have a weekly game, I was invited to play but found it all a bit too confusing with a different game being played every hand "dealers choice". 30 years later I found No Limit Texas Hold 'Em and fell in love with the game. Free League poker at local bars and pubs was how I have honed my game without the costs of casino buy-ins. I play with other washington poker players in a free poker league, the No Fee Texas Holdem Amateur Poker League in Washington State which is a Global Poker Federation sanctioned league. www.nofeetexasholdem.com
I learned to play in grad school (when I first started dating AG 🙂). We played all sorts of games, and I think the ante was a nickel! I used the change to pay tolls for a year!
I started playing hold'em about a year ago, but I started seriously paying attention in the last 3-4 months.

I learned poker with my fam and friends, along with lots of other card games, mostly Pinochle, Euchre and 500. The main thing I learned is there's always more than just the obvious way to win. As far as poker, this usually serves me well, but sometimes gets me in trouble, too. 😛
I started playing hold em at a friend's $25 buy in tourney 4 years ago. From there, played at some free tourneys. My first online venture was a few months later at a $5 MTT at PokerRoom. I won $160 and was pretty much hooked from there.
