How Long Do You Play Poker? : General Poker Forum

I was wondering, what kind of players are here, in this forum. Personally, I play only for just a bit more than 2 months, so I would definately call myself a beginning. Sometimes a lucky beginner, but still a beginner.

So, what about you? For how long do you play poker?

Few months... I started to play poker (at least few times per week) in December of 2006.
But first time I tried poker was 3 years ago... and I had AbsolutePoker software (but played only FreeRolls)

I have started palying poker about half a year ago, but I am still a beginner ^_^

Personally, I started playing poker back in the year 2006 Novermber or December. I didn't play much... Basically, my game was concentrated on freerolls since I was just a newbie without any understanding about poker or skills. I said that I won't deposit any money of my own

Later, I got tired of it and made a long break. Now I'm back So, I really play poker for about 3-4 months.

Did You make a deposit? :rolleyes:
...or made a bankroll from freerolls?

Freerolls take a lot of patience (which I don't have too much) and time so I hated them. This was just a free way to learn at least some poker skills. I won some good places in freerolls but I wasn't able to win much. As it is said, the more you invest, the more you can get. So, I made some deposits, took some bonuses and made some winnings... But i'm still searching for "my" poker room and game...

I like sit-and-go... and quiet small MTT (under200 players).
NL Hold'em. That's the way I like to play. If I play MTT - I prefer not to make re-buy... so mostly I'm playing Freezout B)

I play poker for about two years now. I don't have many great victories to brag about, but there are still some nice ones. I hope that my greatest winnings are waiting in the future.

ive played diferent forms of poker all my life, including video poker on the first slot machines we had in lithuania about 10 years ago. i found texas holdem about 4 years ago, and started playing more and more often since then..

How much time do You spend at poker tables per week?

at the begining i used to play in my free time, but later then i got my schedule cut at work i got more free time - started playing more. when a bout a year and a half ago, i found myself left with only friday nite left at work, and mostly playing the rest of time...it lasted for about a year, and i was doing good enough to pay my bills and stuff playing poker, so finally my manger asked me if im rady to give up my last friday nite , and i said ok... bac in those days i used to play a lot lie crazy - about 80 hours and more a week. i had two computers set up on my desk and used to play on both at same time -sometimes up to 6-7 turnaments at the same time...now i became more selective or lazy ) and stoped doing that , mostly just stick with playing on my laptop, and 3-4 turneys at same time, for about 40-50 hours a week. sometimes i dont play for quite some time - like after last trip to vegas, i didnt play at all for 3 months, just playing some stupid game online and doin nothing ....but that got boring soon plus got bills to pay , and i came back to ultimet bet at the begining of this year

Two to three weeks maybe, maybe even less. I am just learning to play at this time and i think i will be able to earn some money from it in a year or so. And if not - it's just for fun anyway.
