How did you learn to play, Poker Stories..

[billyjustin]

Learned cards at birth damn near. My dad was a card shark, hustler and a top class magician. In the Magic Castle Wall of Fame. I hated poker though, I used 3 card monte for a long time, and if i dealt BlackJack, it was virtually impossible to beat me. Then I figured out math was a part of poker. That was around 10 years old and I played since. But only seriously for maybe 5-6 years. I tell you what, good thing about having a magician as a dad, I can sure do some awesome chip tricks now.
