How long have you been playing poker?

Sorry if this has been done already, but I just wanted to get a general idea of how long most people have been playing.

As for me, I was dealt my first poker hand in Nov. 2001, and have been playing "seriously" since summer 2002.

I would guess that it is about 50/50 as to people playing a longer or shorter time than me.

Nov 2000 was my 1st foray into online poker. I would guess that 75% of opker players STILL PLAYING online started later then 2003. There is a HUGE turnover and you will notice the dats they started on 2+2. Not many players older then 3.

On the fourth day of July, 2005, I sat down at my first real money table at the .5/1. I'm now preparing to move up to 2/4 once my Empire bonus has cleared. This poker lark is g00t!
