It all started when I saw High Stakes Poker at TV for the first time. I watched it and learned a lot. So I got tempted to try it out myself, began with local games with friends and then onto FTP.
At that point it was OK, but when I started winning big it got a lot more than OK, it was adrenaline and big amounts of fun and excitement.
Got several friends to try online poker too at this point, though no one got as much into it as I did. ^^

Very interesting Biddle! Did you play any card games or gamble before poker? Do you think it is something you will continue to do for the rest of your life or is it just a temporary hobby?

I started together with my husband: We used to stay up until 1.30 a.m. and the only thing on t.v. besides commercials for webcamgirls was poker. I hated it, but it was better than watching the same girls with the same teabag titties saying that we should come watch them on www.something.nl. But i didn't understand the first thing about that stupid, stupid game where three two's were better than two aces. (who makes up such a dumb game anyway?) So because we didn't want to go to sleep earlier and we were forced to watch poker every night, we went online to find out how come three two's beat two aces. Of course we found out and after that we thought: ok, well we can do that just as good as some guy calling himself devilfish. So we started playing for play money... still not understanding half of it, because why on earth does the other guy who has a worse hand than us get more chips than us if we go all in on the flop????? stupid stupid game. So we couldn't stand not understanding... and we had to learn more AND play more. And now i'm with PA (pokerplayers anonymous, joke)
