How Long

[ExCal]

How long have you been playing poker before? I have just started playing so about 4 months but I am still in the learning process.

[mollila]

I've been playing a bit over 3 years now, and its still a learning process

[ExCal]

Lol 3 years, well at least you have learned more then me! As I am still trying to pick up the fundamentals of the game.

[tshugo]

I`ve played for a long time, but I feel I learn something new/tricks everytime

I've been playing NL and FL Hold em for 4-5 years. You'll never get out of the learning process as long as you play with different people. You are constantly having to adapt to new strategies and the "trying to think what he's thinking I'm thinking" sort of things.

Well, on and off for several years, but it's only in the last 1-2 years that I've started to take it a bit more seriously.

[CardChick]

Over 5 years, I'd say. But I'd like to start playing more often.

I've been playing far too long. But I still play very small stakes (especially online). Even live, if I am playing a $400 buy-in game, it's on the upper end of the games I will play.

[Vito_Nuccio]

I started playing about 34 years ago for 1-2 cents on Aunt Sadie's kitchen table. I would always look forward to the holidays so I could hit mom up for her spare change after dinner and play poker with the family.

Simple to learn, a lifetime to master. I try to learn something from every game played.

See you on the felt............

hey it does not matter in this game at all. you know one of my friend who is playing online poker since 5 years but he says that he learn something by his each new game.

Myself I would have to say I've been playing roughly 20 years...

My grandmother loved to play cards, but I have to credit my mother and uncle for really showing me the ropes of Hold Em as well as a multitude of other poker styles.

Mom and Uncle Mark are known as the "sharks" of the family, and nobody ever wants in a game with them. I'm starting to get that same reaction from my own friends when I play with them!

Funniest thing is, recently I was invited to play at my friend Bobby's house with 6 other people. It was a typical living room home game, and the buy in was $5. I won, they all laughed, then Bobby said, "Ok I want my buy-in back Miss Annie Duke and you are not allowed to play with us ever again." LMAO (Said while laughing because I beat him in his own house)


Soooo......being the good friend that I am, and laughing the whole time, I gave him is $5 back and offered him an opportunity...double or nothing...heads-up.... Of course, he accepted...

Another $40 later he said: "I stand by my first comment; you are kicked out LOL"

I love my friends, and I love being good at poker, but sometimes the two just don't mix! HAHA
