What made you want POKER?

[ekgbeat]

Poker is a challenging game where anyone can win. That is a huge draw, and makes the game worth while to play.

Same here lol. I love crunching numbers so dealing with pot odds and constantly assessing your risk vs reward seemed like a lot of fun. I used to gamble a lot in the stockmarket, and gambling in poker can at least be just as fun and cheaper too.

Dude the gambling part is so much fun, it's one of my favorite parts of poker, because it's intrinsically built into the game, and since everyone is adverse to it--it's all good!

What made me start playing poker was my friends. I was over one of my friends house and everyone was playing poker and I had never played. After watching them play I went home that evening and looked into the rules of the game and the next game night I was sitting at the tables where them and been playing every since.

What made you want POKER? Who introduced you to poker? pleasure or leisure?

Well, I always liked card play, I really got intrigued when I watched some movie and saw those guys playing, especially in the Old West.
I remember I in the late 2000s I started researching about the game, and learning its rules, I found it a bit complicated, more over time I learned everything that was needed initially. I remember that the first time I played online, was at Everest Poker, I don't even know if the room still exists, it made me even curious now, since I mentioned it.
Well, that's about where I got involved in this mind sport.
Good luck at the tables!

Actually started playing poker late 90s at a neighbours house. Started playing £5 in the pot for chips. Winner took the lot. Then gradually the amount went up. £10 - £20. This was before online poker was readily available. Once it was though. I just started playing that.

My grandma taught me how to play poker when I was a kid, but it was the poker boom of 2003 after Chris Moneymaker won the wsop that really got me hooked.

Poker is an amazing game. Sometimes I hate her, sometimes I love her madly. Poker as a woman is cunning and attractive.

I watched TV back in 2010 and watched an online poker stream. I liked the game I registered and started playing.

I made fun of poker during the hayday, I would literally be watching people make millions on TV while working my crap job (before I was a photog) and call it gambling, I did not get it, I did not get it one bit, despite a co-worker who strived to be good at the game. Yes, he sucked, an impractical gambler, which...made me hate the game more at the time. My mind was on working as a watchdog for the news at the time while working security to get credentials...long story.

Anyways, after that all fell to crap (another long story) I played Zynga...and thought (I knew it was rigged playing there) this might work somehow elsewhere, and I do enjoy the game ..lol, this went on for years, many years...so decided to look into actually taking it serious, this was about a year and a half ago.

So here I am, studying the game And doing ok for the most part, breaking even on non-regulated sites, and doing A-ok live.

It is one of many hobbies I have, but I do think there is a great amount of potential!

For me it was like poker was a lottery with better odds. You could hit it big one day and that's what keeps me playing. You never know what will happen but you can't win if you don't play.

 

[Goku55]

I’ve always liked the idea of gambling and poker more so because of the odds of winning if you’re skilled at the game. I like to study and unleash my skill and everything I’ve absorbed and poker is just a great game. I love the people and the game itself.

I started playing many years ago when I was working in the mines. We used to play Manila then, similar to Holdem.
Then they had it at the local Casino, then I found online poker. I wasn't very good at it, but was enjoying it.
Now it is banned in Australia. I tried rejoining party poker the other day but it wouldn't let me download it.
Have to wait until the local Casino starts playing again.

oh that's cool, so this has a lot of time, right? forbidden why people? but you have updated and managed to have access to some site ne? good to know your story

I was playing a lot of online chess. My wife said that she was surprised I did not play poker. I did not how to play but thought why not give it a try. So I joined PKR and learned the basics. Tens of thousands of hands in on different rooms and i am still learning but love every minute. Still play chess though!

Not many players consistently turn a profit year over year.

Losing money because I have plenty

My husband introduced me to poker online. I did not understand why he was always on the computer playing poker, and at times it annoyed me. So I decided to try it out and see what all the hubbub was about. He showed me the basics and so my own poker journey began. I mainly play for the pleasure of it.

How cool, my story is very similar to yours. I'm glad you allowed yourself to live this wonder with your partner

I am very passionate about the subject of mental capacity, who has the best mind, the best brain the best intelligence, who has the best ability I like to demonstrate it, the poker rooms, the poker as it has given me has taken me away, but has always It has given me more, I have always liked poker, for that reason, to demonstrate my abilities and mental capacities, I believe that everything is in the mind, well I think so and that is my concept ...

Be patient, it is from wise people. Poker by day will change your life, towards a better future.

Because after all these years I still think I can make money with this. As long as I think so, I will keep playing.

 

[gallora]

As often happens, television is to blame for this.

 

[successlaw]

The truth is: Passion.
I always enjoy to be at the tables

 

[franken222]

I was introduced to poker at a high school get together, and did pretty good ad it, so I played very casually until Paradise Poker, and Party Poker came along, and I got more involved, and have played online regularly ever since.

The reason I don't play much live poker, anymore, is that someone said (thankfully): "Look. You can see his cards in his glasses: I was eternally thankful to him for his blunder. Nobody else was...lol.

 

[Maxim420]

I played facebook zynga poker and then since 2008 I play poker for money

 

[booosteeer23]

For me, poker is pleasant to spend the evening playing and may even win a little money))
