What was the moment you fell in love with poker?

[Vovk]

For me, it was the first handout won after I had been pasturing forever. And what was yours?

Once a friend of mine told me that he played poker and did it for a living. I decided to try it out of interest, and after the first session I realized that poker is Super

It was about 10 years ago with online poker search platforms to challenge myself.

I first got into poker back in school—me and a few friends used to sneak in wsop Hold'em games on our phones between classes (sometimes during classes 😅). It started as just fun and trash talk over who’s the "next Phil Ivey." Later in university, we all chipped in and bought a real poker set. Friday nights turned into mini home games with snacks, music, and way too many bad bluffs.


Eventually I discovered poker communities and freerolls online—and suddenly, this little game from school breaks became more than just fun. It turned into a full-on hobby. Now I’m here, trying not to tilt when someone rivers a straight on my set

Obviously a translator error, but one of the funnier ones.

I just wanted to try to play online poker. In the beginning i didnt like it that much. Didnt hate it or something it was just the same thrill as any other videogame i played. After a while i started to study some tips and tricks and i noticed the real game behind poker. I love it no so much that i play it almost every day at the moment.

When I was younger, I was bored and looking for a card game to play. While looking for a cool game I found a game called poker, now more than 10 years later I can't stop playing...

For me, the inspiration to take poker seriously was Chris Moneymaker's feat in 2003 (he won the Main Event at the world series of poker).

I think I was affected by my first tournament win among my friends. I played in my first tournament and won. My friend wanted to win back the lost money he paid for the buy-in, but I declined the heads-up. And at that moment I realized that I had to learn how to play poker to become stronger.

It happened to me when I was visiting relatives and watching my uncle play pokerstars tournaments. I sat and watched and I liked it. After buying my own PC, I started playing poker myself and it just got going.

I fell in love with poker the first time I bluffed my friend with 7-2 offsuit and he folded a full house. He still doesnt know. That moment made me realize this game is pure magic—and slightly evil. I was hooked ever since

 

[fullorfold]

Fell in love, are you kidding!?!?! I'm just trying to get back to even then i quit!!!

Nah, but for real i like the complexity of poker. I't really takes a life time to master i believe.

The moment when my classmate played online poker during an informatic class.
Back then, it was the golden age of online poker, with lots of rooms and bonuses.

 

[Stringy]

Poker became an important part of my life when I realised that it was a game that could bring me income. Since then, I have been playing regularly for more than 5 years.

[MilaRoy]

When I slow-played pocket aces and trapped two aggressive players. Watching the pot grow while staying calm felt unreal. That’s when I knew....I was hooked for life.

For me, when I played it for the first time live, I fell in love with poker.

My husband plays poker professionally, and as a wife I had to support him. That's how it started.

The moment I felt the adrenaline rush of playing each hand with real money, I fell in love with it more and more, but you also have to play responsibly.
