To all the beginners out there you need to ask yourself one question. Why play poker? Make sure you have the funds and the patience to play poker for money. Dont start playing because it looks cool on tv. There are too many sharks out there waiting for you.
I'm not sure I could pinpoint exactly why I started playing for real (I mean I played some as kid goofing around with other kids, but there was never money involved). Some of it was probably to spend time with friends, to learn about something that seems interesting to me, and of course, the desire to finally get good enough to beat my husband.
Well poker is fun first of all, but just like anything to be good at it takes practice,
practice and more practice. No one wants to trow there money away so at least learn the in ands outs of the game 1
I started playing as a way to get to know the guys in my new residence building while I was on an educational exchange to Canada. I hadnt ever played before so I wasnt doing too well so when I read about the game and got advice from different areas I found i was starting to win a little bit of money, so the fact I was able to hang out with some new friends and make some new friends was the first reason and the money was second. But $5 games that lasted 2-3hrs, in some cases 8hrs were a better way to spend time then $10 at the movies. Spec when the film could be really rubbish.
My Mom and Dad were poker players so I learned all sorts of card games early on. Never played Hold em till I got online so it was something I wanted to learn.
