Default Re: Teaching a Completely New Player How to Play

[ QUOTE ]
My gf wants to learn how to play poker. She barely knows the hand rankings.

A big problem is that she is risk-averse. She doesn't want to lose money.

Does *she* want to learn to play for any reason other than that *you* do?

Anything I'm missing? Any suggestions?

Doesn't sound like she's cut out for poker.

I'd suggest having some low stress, social home games to see if she actually likes it.
