Default how/why did you first start playing poker?

for me it was the 03 main event. not that [censored]-eating mouth-breather moneymaker, but cuz of farha. at the time i thought the guy was just the coolest person ever. plus he's lebanese. which is sorta close to iranian. so there's that.

every time i watch a rerun i keep hoping farha calls moneymaker's bluff. but he never does. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I was a fish who won his first shoot out. (Glorified super turbo.) That and the fact that if I didn't become a winning gambler, I'd be a broke gambler.

I watched a programme in the UK called Paul O Grady hes a gay guy who has his own t.v. show and they showed some donk play a hand of teh poker which was obviously rigged for the purpose of the show, the next day i went to school asking about it, the next day we had games running every lunch time.

holla.
