What was the first poker site you played on?
I started playing poker three years ago. A good friend of mine helped me create an account at pokerstars, told me about the functionality and explained the basics of the game. Since then, poker has become my favourite hobby.

The first site was Pokerstars in the main time there were a lots of players from around the world. But actually since two or more years, the traffic is going down. Alots of countries are anymore on the site due to regulation. But not only regulation problems are the reason for the downsizing. If i see the promotions from GG Poker there are more value for the players. And so many players switch to GG. I allways played very likely on Pokerstars but actually i prefer GG.

I played my first tournament at PokerStars. I started playing poker in 2017 and at that time PokerStars was considered the leader. Now, in my opinion, the leaders are 888 and GGPoker.

Full Tilt.
I have played on around 20 poker rooms, but I still think Full Tilt was the best.

Littlewoods was my first poker site - a voice announced when each hand was dealt:" Dealing flop; dealing turn; dealing river." It was really good for a beginner. And their tourneys were all freezeouts, which I much prefer, but 888 and Pokerstars don't run them. And they had a £100 tourney every night at 7.30 pm, which I used to often win a ticket for.

Then I went to Victor Chandler (as it was then) and they also had a tourney every night, at 7 pm I think, which I know lasted until 1 am if you won (which I did). I enjoyed it much more than these rotten hyper tourneys.

Also been on Sky and Full Tilt; now on 888 and Pokerstars.

My first poker site was 888. That's where I took my first steps. Later there was PS and PartyPoker.

I started playing poker around 2010-2011. I created an account at PokerStars, a popular site at the time, and played only there. I didn't pay attention to other sites, because in general, the range of tournaments that were held at PokerStars was more than enough for me.

My first site was Absolute poker, I loved that site back in the day. It became surrounded in controversy on Black Friday and was shut down. There's a book written on it called "Straight Flush" by Ben Mezrich, it's a great read. I recommend it.
