Started about 17 years ago with 5 card draw poker. I was around 11 when my grandfather taught me the hands. I´ve been playing poker since then. Holdem though, I started around 5 years ago, as it was something new here to Brasilian poker players. Until this big Holdem boom, 5 card draw had always been the most popular way of playing poker here.

I started about 4 years ago to play poker on the internet. The game was NL Holdem. I saw it on TV WPT . Before that I had only played 5 card draw with friends and earlier in school. It took me about 2 years of playing and a couple of books to be a winning player. Before that I did lose a lot, my wife was not happy about it and still is not. Now my biggest problem is time ! 3 kids, house and a fulltime job makes it hard to play as much as I would like......

I have played poker for app. 4-5 years can remember exactly how long. It was my brother who introduced me to online poker. In the beginning I was a little bit suspect about playing with my money online but that quickly changed.
