What got you into poker?

[aaa.]

In my case, I was at the airport with a friend and we had to wait around 14 hours due to our flight being delayed. Luckily for us, he had a complete poker set with cards and chips, lots of them. We played for a long time and some people even joined our game. It was certainly an experience I won’t forget.

It was a live group game for me as well. I prepared for it by playing for play money on pokerstars. I had never played poker before, but had seen a little bit of it on TV with the Poker After Dark series. I got cold decked in that game, but it got me hooked.

Cool. This once again proves the fact that sometimes a poker set can be very useful, even on a deserted island

I came to poker from a YouTube video and watched a video on YouTube and liked the game after which I downloaded the game and tried to play it myself. After playing for a while, I was also very interested in playing this game and then started playing on a regular basis and trying to make money

I started playing with friends and then I got interested in poker and I've never been able to stop and since then I've always tried to improve and be as profitable as possible.

TV westerns are what got me interested in it. When I was growing up during the late 1950s and 60s there were a lot of westerns on television. On those shows there were many saloon scenes, and in those scenes more often or not someone would be playing poker. My mother had taught me at an early age to play gin rummy and cribbage. So when I got to be ten or eleven and mentioned that I'd like to learn how to play poker, she and my father were happy to do it.

Live poker started with home games with friends.

online poker started after WPT and wsop began to broadcast their tournaments in sweden.

One day I was bored with nothing to do, then I thought I'm going to download a card game to play, then I saw this poker game and it was love at first sight

I knew Poker from old western movies from my childhood. But I didn't know the rules. I began to understand a little more in Mel Gibson's film Maverick. But I didn't develop an interest because I didn't understand the dynamics of the game and thought it was just another game of chance. Then I came across a play money recreational poker App on Facebook. I started playing, I understood the game, I fell in love and when the pandemic arrived and that free time and the obligation to stay at home... all of this together led me to PokerStars...
The rest of the story I think everyone already knows... lol

I was at a barbecue at a friend's house playing truco, a card game. When a friend's brother arrived and invited her to play poker, we accepted and explained the rules to us and started playing!

I have been playing poker for about 7 years now. My friends taught me how to play. We had a lot of free time and poker turned out to be a great activity. Currently, poker is the only game I play and it is my favorite hobby.

My boyfriend taught me how to play about 4 or 5 years ago and from then on I haven't stopped playing and trying to improve.
