i was asked yesterday when did i start playing poker and i thought that ill blog how i did start playing the beautiful game. when i was 13 back in 1999 i was up late watching channel 4 and this program which there was people sitting round a table laughing and joking, smoking and playing cards. i was hooked, i watched every time it was on and learnt the basics. i went to school and read the rules on the internet and wanted to play there and then. i tried to get a game at school but no one wanted to play this but brag was popular so i played that against people who were not people who i used to hang around with(these were the popular boys who were best in class where i used to get into trouble all the time as the teachers were not teaching me quick enough so i was bored and just wanted something to do) and the competition was soft, they were waiting for big cards where i was bluffing all the time and i was winning a lot of lunch money. one hand though was a bit of a shock, i had
so had a flush(by the way a flush can be beaten by a straight and the best hand is prial of
) and i was raising but this one player kept raising me, i thought he was thinking i was on one and bluffing(its been a few games in) but i thought i was winning, all the change i had went in the middle and his also and i showed my flush but the bugger just had me pipped with
:
:, i was annoyed and my temper was high and i went for him(this was not a good idea but i could get all the toffs done for gambling at school if we got caught fighting), i didnt think he was strong bit boy did he hit me on the chin, a teacher saw me hold my chin, asked what is going on and the toffs said i was trying to steal there lunch money and was about to hit them so they hit me in self defence, i was in solitary confidement(a room on my own doing my school work) for a couple of weeks. in that time i thought that cards were not worth it(i was grounded at home aswell).
a few years later when i was 18 i saw three people at the local cue club playing holdem, i did remember the rules and asked if i could play, they aggreed and i sat down with £5 worth of 20p"s and the cards were in the air, i cleaned them out with cards and bluffs and proud with what i have done. that was it until i was 20 and me and a few friends were playing "****head", its a get rid of your cards type of game and we were bored, i showed them holdem and they all enjoyed it, at this time i was watching it on tv and they all wanted a proper freezeout game, stake aggreed and chips bought and we were off, since that game i havent stopped learning and playing and addicted(its also where i got addicted to smoking aswell). so that is how i got into poker.
cant wait till the 1st feb and the 7th feb.
