I tried poker for the first time about 10 years ago playing the games with friends online. I have since then continued to learn poker. I join online forums to learn more.

That's a great way to start. Playing poker with friends in a home game environment is definitely a good way to start before exposing yourself to the poker world.

Well, my first time touching poker I didn’t play for much cash that night but I was hooked on the game and that's what gets me attracted.

It have been a long time since I had my first experience with playing poker. It should be in 2009 that I played my first poker game.

I was living in Saipan, a pacific island, in the 2000s. There were many poker rooms there and also a casino on a nearby island. I got into a little gambling there because that was part of the culture.
 
My parents introduced me to poker when I was 14. They paid for my $5 buy-in in a home game we played, and I won. It was also when I had my first beer.
 
I can hardly recall the first time I tried it. In fact, I only did it for fun. I was in my late twenties when I first gave it a shot. I was feeling bored, and online poker was very popular at that time, and it still is today, so I decided to give it a try. Hehe

Poker is very engaging and it could be a way to escape regular dullness. I also found pleasure in playing poker and it brings me great satisfaction.
 
I learned poker at a home game with my friends, and it quickly became my favorite hobby. I started playing online later, and it was a whole different experience—both exciting and challenging. The thing that helped me explore different platforms was checking reviews on sites like https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/bonusbuyslotsuk.com to see what others had to say before trying a new site. It saved me from a few bad choices.
