Where did you learn to play?

[NScooter]

i'm learned playing online. pp np etc

 

[LilMiss]

I learnt to play with a guy from work he had a party at his place one nite and I went and I was pretty drunk but I got the hang of it. Since then we have regular tourneys at his place with 2 of his mates and we play online together too.

 

[alicia455]

i saw a party poker commercial on tv and decided to try it and i won about $300 and have been playing ever since nobody really showed me how to play i just learned off my mistakes

 

[fullhouse]

i'm still learning..

 

[Pat]

I learned by gettin my ass handed to me by my friends

i think the best lessons are just the PLAYING ones... not through books and tutorials

 

[Pat]

Actually check that...

I like books like Brunson's but i think there more of a add on then a guide or teacher!!

Knaaaamean!!

 

[Nebulousbane]

Not ur Likely place

I first learned to play sitting in the county jail. after that I started watching the tourneys on TV. I met a couple of friends who play and then found PokerRoom.com and have been playing ever since...




Remeber Never under Estimate the IMPOSSIBLE!!!

[Tamster]

i gambled alot with reatives at early age, but hold em no limit, got my attention by seeing wpt and wsop on tv, and watched it over and over, and started online playing,
with play money for awhile, then real money , but tournaments i really like the most.

 

[Benimaru]

First time played on ultimate bet. At that point didn't know if a straight beats a flush or the other way around

 

[Thors1982]

All my friend were playing poker and making tons online. So I decided to play with them just for like $5 tournys at my house.


Then I started playing in freerolls, was doing great. Then I deposited online..... and well been addicted every since, LOL

I still learn fromy watching my friends they are 10x better players than I am

 

[cranck]

Doing exactly what Lavitz described, hitting Freerolls and the using the money earned to try out tournaments. So far earned a little bit on 2 sites and gotten a donation from the house of 10 usd on pacific. Playing it VERY carefull trying to learn every step i go

[sss2005]

Unfornunately, I learned to play online and spent quite a few dollars on my education...hehe. Now, I can hold my own pretty well.

 

[jakeWANG]

online.
heared about this game, searched the Internet and started making money.
it's actually a simple game, just need to be coooooooool

 

[xdmanx007]

I learned by playing play money at pokerstars. Read a book or 2. I would advise anyone to play play money at pokerstars or paradise because they have the best players imo. Although play money isn't truely represntative of the skill level of real money. You will get practical experience on what to play and what not too play, you will probably still lose a little when you first put your money on the table. It will not be near as bad as it would be if you went in with no practice whatsoever. Random thoughts hope it helps

live games

I learned playin poker on live games with my friends... Its really the only way to learn because you need to learn how to lose before yu can learn how to win,...

 

[lilchesster]

i learned when i was 15 at work we'd play 10 cents poker draw an d stud than it progressed from there.

 

[ynggambler21]

[chin146099]

I started playing poker with my friends at my Cigar Club. We actually still all play together. We started playing all sorts of games at the .25/50 level. Then the owner of the club went to Vegas on vacation and we have limited the games to Holdem and Omaha hi or hi/lo for the past 3 years or so. We play once or twice a week at the 2/4 level. We also have a monthly tourny for a $50 buyin no limit Holdem. First pays around $500. I started playing online a couple of years ago doing freerollsonly. started progressing into cash games this month with some very nice early sucesses.
