I think it's about 17 years. I started with a PokerStars promotion. We had to watch a poker show with Daniel Negreanu on TV and get a password, then go on PokerStars and enter a tournament with this password.
Then you can win a ticket to go in real money tournaments...

I started playing poker in 2007 when tournament broadcasts arrived here in Brazil.

Soon after, I started playing on Zinga Poker, which was linked to Facebook. I thought, "Once I'm playing really well, I'll create an account, lol." But after a while, I was playing on a friend's account and realized it was illegal, so I decided to plan how I could do it without spending any money.

So, in 2016, I started creating my own accounts (ACR, PS, 888, PartyPoker) and playing all the freerolls I could. ACR was the key to this journey because it allowed withdrawals without needing to deposit in advance, so my ACR winnings would go towards unlocking my other accounts.

In 2017, I discovered that there were several CardsChat freerolls, and the Platinums were excellent. That's when I decided to join CardsChat and never leave. That's why I love this forum so much. In 2016, I also attended some classes on the Intelipoker platform, linked to PS.
And since then, I've been striving to improve as much as possible, but in 2018 I started to change my mindset to make this a profitable hobby, so I compete for all the tickets on the social media platforms of the sites I play.
Nowadays, with the current problem and no sign of recovery, I'm organizing myself to make a living solely from online poker.
I even plan to create a thread here soon to share my journey, but I still need to organize everything here...

I started my online poker journey back in September 2013, just a player with curiosity and a dream to learn the game. Over the years, I’ve seen ups, downs, and everything in between, but the passion never left.
Every session still teaches me something new.

I started playing in 2012 when I met my now hubby and it was his life, I have learned from him watched him play hundreds of hours, yet it’s only the last year or so I feel it’s all clicked and I feel I know what I’m doing and good enough to win. I mean I knew abc poker and could win prior to that but about a year ago something changed where I felt confident I could win MTTs and did. Like the basics are ingrained so I could pay attention to all the important stuff that give you an edge, watching other players positions. Range, knowing how im perceived and using it to my advantage. You can learn how to play poker but stuff like playing big stacks big blinds , bubble play, final tables, getting information from different actions knowing your opponents range, what they do in situations etc; that only comes with experience and hours of playing - a feeling about a hand etc. it can’t be taught.

Anyway you didn’t ask that but you got it.

I’m in the UK. Not sure what is CIS

I've been playing online poker for 12 years, I think online poker is trickier than live poker
100% it is, firstly the buy ins are a lot less usually, secondly people don’t have to look you in the face when they play shit and bad beat you. When you play live there’s usually one game that night so people risk going out less whereas on line you can be playing multiple games or just jump in another.

Totally different styles of play and thought processes. Live is easier lol

I actually only considered this in my first two months playing online when I was a huge FISH. Then I started to learn how to play & realized if I put some work in I could win.

I would say that I have been in a short time, maybe a little more than a year, but this was my most active year in poker.
