Dedicated to the most unpredictable, enchanting and brutal game.

My acquaintance with poker happened back in 2008, when I was a 4th year student. In Russia, there was no cult of this game, and I accidentally stumbled upon a program on TV, where two of the most famous analysts Ilya Gorodetsky and Mikhail Semin, who also played live poker, were broadcasting.

Ilya Gorodetsky and Mikhail Semin

I was instantly captured by this game, and I learned its rules in the course of the transfer, and not on the Internet.

I always liked the magic of numbers, likelihood, opportunity and maps in general, which is why I instantly obeyed the game, like a child who knows the world. At that time, Ivan Demidov was shining, and I witnessed his triumph in the world series, where he won second place and fabulous prizes.

Denying the desire to win a big score too will be cunning, but poker itself delivered to me an incredible pleasure with its unpredictability and the ability to somehow try to control this mathematical chaos. I wanted to be a good player, able not only to win at least some money, but also to adequately read the game of opponents.

I signed up for PokerStars only because I heard about such a room in the program and did not even mean that it is the largest and most famous in the world. Naturally, I uploaded the lobby for the first time with wild awe, which I really liked. Later I played on many more, but nowhere is there such conservatism, coupled with the original design and functionality.

The first month I played on conditional chips and I really liked everything. Like any newcomer, I wanted to learn more about strategies, but I quickly realized that you would not learn to play conventional chips, because everyone there behaves awfully impressively and plays ugly. But I was not destined to make the first deposit - I went to the army, where, as it turned out, my acquaintance with poker did not end, but only gained new strength, but this is already the next story ....
