Your poker History

[wizard]

Hi there, im a long time watcher of the boards that doesnt post often. Just wondering when people first started playing poker, how they got into it, and who their poker hero is? and also the reason you play poker. Cheers:)

Re: Your poker History I started about 5 years ago down our local "The Castle" in Bath. We used to play for bags of pennies and two pences down the pub..... a two pence was a raise, lol. Got into it after watching late night poker on channel 4, when it was the only poker program on TV..... how those days have changed. I would have to say the Devilfish.... he was one of the big players on late night poker. Way before the Helmuths, Hansens and Lederers were even heard of. Devilfish is still my all time favourite player today.
