[Luka22guro]

How long have you been familiar with poker and under what circumstances did you get to know it?

My first poker experience was in 2008. That year, during an entertainment among a group of colleagues, we decided to play poker. It was a very interesting experience for me. After that I never stopped playing.

I think I was about 6 years old when I saw Bugs Bunny beat a grifter in a mining town w/two pair. He had a pair of ones and another pair of ones (4 aces). The grifter first asked Bugs if he wanted to play "draw poker" and Bugs drew a picture of a poker for the fire-place logs; lol.

Hi, friend!
My colleagues after work gathered in the office and played poker. I found this game interesting and my first experience was with live poker. Then I switched to online, and now I play only there. I really like poker, it gives cool emotions)

I started playing cards earlier, when I sat down at the school desk, and my friend told me that poker is interesting and simple, it won’t be a problem for your collection, my friend’s words came true, poker is an interesting game!

I’ve been playing since I was a kid with my Dad and younger brother. He taught us draw and stud poker first. In the early 2000s we all got into holdem and played regularly.

Many years ago with a cell phone that had that game installed; but it was many, many years ago and i learned how to play it without reading the rules or anything i just started figuring everything out until i learned. may I win it sometime!

When I was a little kid the family played Rummoli, it has a poker pot. We played Dad rules, "best hand wins" no betting no bluffing. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I learned the real rules.

I was a member of several training sites and I think it really helped me out.

I've been playing poker since I was eleven or twelve years old fifty seven or eight years ago. We had one television in the house and when the Lawrence Welk Show ended at eight on Saturday night, my parents and I would play poker until Gunsmoke came on at ten. I think that what piqued my interest in the game was because poker games were common in all the westerns that were on tv at the time.

Years ago I worked for Allied Plywood in Providence RI, and on Christmas Eve afternoon we had a poker game that went on until closing time, or maybe even a little later.
