I started about six years ago. I first created an account on PokerStars and played exclusively on weekends, just for fun. Of course, I thought poker would bring me easy money, but it turned out to be not so simple :)

I started playing at Full Tilt Poker in 2002. I remember it was full of Americans back then, and people would win and lose tens of thousands of dollars in literally 5 minutes. I loved watching the high-stakes cash games there.I remember one player winning $90K and then losing it all 10 minutes later.

My very first deposit and tournament was at the Sportingbet poker room, which belongs to the Boss network, around 2005-2006.
(I won my first tournament with about 1000 people, so my bankroll strengthened and fortunately I haven't had to add any of my own money since then)

i started on Paradise Poker and thought it was a great site .i won a seat playing freerolls that awarded a spot in a tourney with $1 million in prize money ! but since Paradise had become a publicly traded company ,when the UIAGE act passed in 2006 ,players from USA were locked out .my real chance at big money was gone ..... that was a bad beat . Steve Badger wrote 'Since it's player base was heavily US -centric , Paradise only survived as a mere shell of its former self .' he also added ' ...the saga of Paradise Poker shows us doing things right sometimes doesn't end up right '.

I started at Paradise Poker back in the early 2000s. I loved the platform, and all the games and variants they had available. It's also where I saw a CardsChat freeroll, and decided to join the forum.

I started at 888 what seems a lifetime ago. Once I learned the game a little I moved up to playing at the bigger sites and live tournaments.

loved Ultimate Bet because they had crazy pineapple and the software was cool looking,

This was a little trip down memory lane for me. I started (waay before Black Friday) at Carbon Poker. Cash games mostly (often 6-max). Those games were so soft... I miss them!

If I'm not mistaken, I registered my first poker account in the summer of 2012. I remember it was summer because I was on vacation at the time. I started on PokerStars, which was probably number one at the time. After a few months, I won my first freeroll and got about $320, I think. That was when I realized that you could make money playing poker.

I started playing Titan Poker in 2008 and initially played fixed limit. I remember how nervous I was when I played my first NLH.
