I was at a barbecue at a friend's house when his brother introduced me to this poker.

My father played, but he forbade me to play, I watched a lot of old west movies, I believe I started when I was 15, then I played in the exercise period, where I won a lot of money, I was almost arrested playing in a clandestine casino, I went to Las Vegas in 1986, more Than I lost, i've been over 20 years old than online gambling, I confess that in time I have lost much of my courage, today I play more and test my opponents online, once every ten or fifteen days I attend a poker house.

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

I have been playing poker since 2016. I started when I had a lot of free time and I was bored. Now I play much less than before, unfortunately there is very little free time

Long time ago there were showing in Poland early EPT on Eurosport somewhere around when pokerstars was created. Was playing micros and freerolls. Take break maybe 7 years. Downloaded PS again 3 months ago, decided to give it a go this year with a lot of learning. The goal is to participate in UKGPT by the end of this year in London.

Luckily I got to know poker in 2011 (about 12 years ago), I was resting for a hernia surgery and I saw an advertisement on ESPN where they invited me to play at the largest free poker site in the world, Pokerstars, it called a lot. attention, from that moment my story began haha

 

[valen.bs.95]

I was offered to play by my boyfriend, now this is our common hobby

 

[Dasha_21]

A loved one told me about poker, I've been playing for more than a year

 

[TeUnit]

I joined several training sites, read a bunch of poker books, and got some coaching.

 

[njrbj4321]

I saw a poker tournament on TV and immediately wanted to play it.

 

[mateuszjason]

I played with my cousin on vacation and his friends. One mate from the team had card chips, and I joined them.
I liked it right away.

This is a fun story. I came to play pairs one day and the teacher was there, I don't remember her name, she just asked who can play poker, I can't, but they taught me the basics and she said we play for money and we don't miss her pairs because we wanted to play poker with her haha

 

[davidsincara]

Got to work as a photographer in a MAIN poker event at my city and feel in love with it, it has been 6 years now

 

[sincos]

At first, I only heard about poker. But at some point my nephew offered to play poker...

 

[GrEbZ2021]

My acquaintance with poker took place +-6 years ago, at first I watched my older brother and friends play poker, and then in my life pokersstars appeared and I started developing my poker skills there already

I got acquainted with poker quite a long time ago, when I saw one of the championships on TV late at night. Even then, I really liked the game, and I watched this tournament all night. Of course, then I had no one to play with among my peers, and my games were limited only to battles against the computer. I gradually got tired of it, and I forgot about poker for several years.Playing for wrappers helped me understand only the essence and rules of poker. It was only later that I downloaded another version of the program, where there was a game for money, then I learned about freerolls, about the cash game, about SnG and so on, that's when my poker life began.Try quitting smoking for fun, at least for a week, and see how you feel. And I am sure that 90% of you will play better because poker is a game of the mind, and cigarettes are a drug that dulls it.

Well i saw a friend playing.. ages ago.. and it looked like great fun!

 

[mtmigmike]

I'm in my late 60s now and have played many card games over the years, including 5 card draw and Stud Poker, but never even heard of Hold-em until about 20 years ago when I chanced on watching Late Night Poker on TV, and the game grabbed me. I don't know what it was but I started by playing freerolls on Pokerstars, then tried quite a few other sites, so I have been playing Hold-em for over 20 years now.
I still have never made a deposit, and cashed out of at least 4 different sites that I made money from playing freeroll Tournaments, the only one I have not made a withdrawal from is still Pokerstars which was the first site I tried and the only one I keep returning to.
Who knows, maybe one day I will take my money and run
