Re: What\'s your online poker age?
May 6, 2005 (2 years and 4 months)
Deposited $10 on tiger gaming and told myself that if I lost it I'd never deposit again. I started playing .10/.20 limit, made $25 by the end of the month and I was ecstatic that 'this online poker thing' could pay my monthly internet bill!! Eventally moved to NL(NL50 up to NL200 and after about a year and a half realising that there's much more $ to be made and now I regularly take home enough each month to cover the mortgage payments and more. |

Re: What\'s your online poker age?
13 months old. My first deposit was $20 on bodog, where I started playing .05/.10 LHE. I cashed out what was left of my roll a couple of months ago ($400) and took a break (read a lot of poker books, played a few free roll donkaments). Getting ready to deposit on stars and get started again.

Re: What\'s your online poker age?
I am almost 2.
My first real money deposit was 50$ into FTP on 11/28/05 having just turned 18. I used to play play money the summer before this. I started with 5$ sngs and played wayyy above my roll at cash games before id even heard of BR mgmt. Finally deposited a bunch more times b4 i realized i was doin something wrong and found 2p2 after hearing it mentioned on a liveatthebike webcast, which i found from a fellow railbird on FTP. I was down to my last 1$ online ~1 year ago after going on tilt and chasing this fish to 1-2nl (i still hate you for this envelopescars [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) when i luckboxed my way to win a 1$ PLO rebuy (which i had no $$ to rebuy) in the middle of the night on UB for like 120$ I finally decided i was tired of sucking and started taking poker seriously again, i went on to cash in some mtt's (ftops and FT of 3r) and traded a friend for some party money and proceeded to build my roll up to 4 figures. Since then i have started playing FR 10c 25c on stars where i am comfortably rolled. tl;dr ldo |

Re: What\'s your online poker age?
I started playing on Empire at the end of 2004. I played .50/1 LHE to start and also some $5+1 SNGs, oblivious of the crazy rake. I lost about $300 (one-tabling) before I found some forums and started to learn what I was doing. I'm still at 25NL because I kept withdrawing money, but now I am keeping most of my winnings in my BR so I can be robusto.

[/ QUOTE ] It was sometime in 1998. I played on Planet the day it opened. I had played on IRC previous to that, although it wasnt for real money we did play for real and payoff later. I wish I could find pics of the first planet lobby. It was actually pictures of tables, there was no list of tables. There were like nine tables in the lobby. No tournaments, no Omaha, no no-limit, just limit hold'em. |
