I started playing on PokerStars back when their advertising was everywhere, and they were also running live poker tournaments across Europe and in the Bahamas. Later I played on Full Tilt, which I really liked. After that poker room disappeared, I registered on 888poker, and I’ve been playing on both sites ever since. By the way, I recommend playing on at least two sites — sometimes the game just doesn’t go well on PokerStars, so I switch to 888.

Ultimate Bet and Pokerstars. I put $150 into each site at the same time. I really miss UB's simply looking styled software and lobby. I personally did pretty well there until Russ Hamilton ruined with a cheating/superuser scandal.

Cheers!!!

I started playing on PokerStars because of the many freerolls, but after the platform changed its policy and practically eliminated them all, I migrated to other platforms.

I can't remember which was my first.
I think it would have been one of Full Tilt, 888, Party, Absolute or Purple Lounge.
Does anybody else remember Purple Lounge?

Hello :)
That's a great question. I first played and learned the rules and regulations of poker with my friends in 2006, and then I played online on Facebook at zyngapoker in the same month. Both of these things led me to discover this game that captivated my mind and heart.

Full tilt poker and man did i love that site before you know what happened. It had such a depth and variety of tournaments with great value - my particular favourite was Midnight Madness and Double Deuce.

I started playing on PokerStars in 2010; it was the best site at the time.
It had the best tournaments and the best freerolls.

I started playing on PokerStars around 2014. I started because most of my friends were playing and our whole group was really into poker. Over time, I also became interested and started playing. I started with freerolls, and it's been over 10 years since then.

I started on PokerStars many years ago. I watched a poker tournament on TV, did some research, and PokerStars was the first site I found.
