It was a simple coincidence that brought me to poker. A friend came to visit, sat down at my computer, downloaded the previously unknown Pokerstars program and started playing. I looked at what kind of game this was and then he wrote down all the combinations of Texas hold'em on paper and offered to see how he plays a little. He also said that there are freerolls from which you can raise your bankroll, and after that everything started spinning:cool:

Hi, friend!
I think this is one of the most common questions in this thread, but I will answer you anyway in this post.
My work colleagues liked to gather in the evenings in the meeting room and play poker. Yes, my first experience was offline, but then I quickly switched to online, and now I practically do not play live poker.
This game seemed interesting to me from the very beginning, even when I didn't know the rules yet. The emotions that poker gives are unique)

I started playing poker in 2016 because I had a lot of free time and was bored. Now there is almost no free time, but from time to time I find an opportunity and play in my favorite tournaments.

In the evenings, only we had access to the office, because we didn’t do anything bad, but only played poker with colleagues.
I don't think this is a unique case :cool:

no, you don't think that I wanted to see something bad in this, uniqueness in a good team, if you didn't disperse after work

I started to play after watching an WSOP event on TV and I thought it could be a fun way to win an extra money. After I started to play online, I met some people who also liked poker and we used to play together, but after college I play mostly online.

You could learn what poker is from feature films. And as soon as I had the opportunity to play on my own, of course I did it right away. Since then, I have enjoyed playing this wonderful game of chance for many years.

I liked it a lot since the first time I saw a TV broadcast from WSOP, even not understanding the game at that time.

A few years ago I knew poker as a game of luck. But recently, watching some videos on YouTube and reading some books, I began to realize how fundamental it is to study poker and play strategically. This led me to love poker.

My friends and I used to get together and play poker, but I didn't even think about playing for real money back then. After watching the 2009 world series of poker, I wanted to play and try my hand at tournament poker.
