It was a friend at university who introduced me to the game and we used to play regularly.

Happened when it all kicked off with the whole poker boom and I really go into it.

Been playing ever since.

I was watching TV 17 years ago and a final table of a wsop event was on espn. I thought the game so interesting that I learned to play poker on that same day.

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 got interested in poker after seeing a Japanese pro player introducing a poker tournament on TV.

I got into poker because of the mix of skill and luck—it’s like a mental challenge with real stakes. Plus, the community and the thrill kept me coming back.
