When did you start playing Holdem?

[TRB1965]

I grew up playing mainly 5 card draw with family and friends as a kid. I play a whole lot of stud over the years. I ahd played a little Texas Holdem, but frankly didn't care for it too much. Then the internet boom and the Moneymaker effect hit and it become a lot easier on line to find Holdem games than anything else. I've played mainly Holdem for the last 4-5 years. I still like to play some of the other disciplines from time to time, but I play mainly holdem now.

I started playing poker in 2001. I started playing when I joined the local moose lodge in my town. They would play twice a week with $20 buy ins. My first time ever playing I won so I just kept on playing from that day foward.
