As for when it began: I used to play 'sweet stakes' with my friend a while back. We didn't have much money to throw around, but it didn't matter, because there was nothing more satisfying than pushing in and taking him down for a tube of Rolos or a carton of Um Bongo.

Erm. Gradual progression for me. I used to win all the home games against my mates a few years ago... The idea of having a fun night with friends AND being able to make £30 AND have bragging rights - well thats just the best thing ever isnt it?
I dont think you can really say the same for any other game/sport - not one that I can think of anyway.
A friend of mine said there was a poker tournament in a bar near us and asked me to go play for a bit of fun. Now this bar without doubt was and still is one of the roughest in the area (loads of paramilitary guys prob in it - the owner was one anyway lol) and so as an 18 year old I wasn't too sure about going to begin with. Talk about playing scared poker lol There was about 60 people playing and I ended up finishing 2nd winning about £200 or something. Expecting to be mugged as soon as I got out the door I was out of there quicker than roadrunner on steroids when the cash was handed over! Anyway that's how I got the bug!
WHAT WAS THE EXACT MOMENT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH POKER?
The day Sky Poker launched! (predictable)
I played 3 card brag from leaving school in the 70s venues changed over the years as it was unlawful in those days to gamble in pubs but I always managed to find a game when I fancied one.
Went for many years not gambling mortages kids etc then saw poker night live on the TV which kick started my gambling and addictive nature. Joined the site where play was covered by PNL had many hands reviewed and steadily improved and fell in love with the game at this point. I have never played live other than a session in my local barbers believe it or not.
I joined sky in the early days and have played on and off here for the last 6 years mainly low stakes, work got in the way for a while but I would always take the time to keep up with forums on here and watch the shows.
Keep up the good work guys.
