My first experience with poker was playing texas hold em with a few co workers. They took it easy on me since I had never played before. After that night I got hooked. I watched the tournments on tv and found sites that I could play online. I read some things, mostly at different websites, but I never bought a book or anything.

I learned to play from my dad as well. They had weekly poker nights and on the times that they came to our house I would watch. When I got older my dad let me sit in on a few hands and I have been playing ever since.

I learned because on a weekend with my dad when i was little the roads were snowed in and we had to stay up in the mountains another day.

Well, to play real cards there was only one other human: me. He taught me the rules but thought i didn't understand, because I got a straight five card draw nothing wild. The look on his face was hysterical.

I first started playing draw poker when I was in my early teens. We used to play for change and cigarettes. I eventually started playing Texas Hold'em. I basically learned Texas Hold'em from reading and watching videos, playing online.

seen a few games on tv and thought i would give it a go.not learned much so far.knowing how to play and how i do play are to different things.hope to get them matching at some point.every hand is a new lesson

You just have to play a lot. Find the right site to play one ( so the site with the most fish on it:D ). Now I found the weakest site and I won last month 2k and got 1k rakeback. So it is just a manner of finding the right site and play until you are rich:D

I think it takes a bit more than just finding a site with a lot of fish and playing until you are rich

You do have to play a lot of hands, but reading poker books, tutorials, learning bankroll management and watching how the poker pros play to learn tips will go a long way to helping you play better poker.

I learned poker from my father when I was around 12 or 13.

i watched an episode on tv and i got so obsessed that i started playing every video game possible and now i play mostly online
