Default Re: What to do with a Child who plays SNG\'s?

If it makes you feel any better, my son learned how to play poker at 5. He really likes the math involved and enjoys the game. I don't let him play for money, but he does play in the play money ring games and SnGs. I let him play a couple of games maybe once or twice a week. We also play heads up tournies with our own cards/chips [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think it is a great experience for him and is very challenging/fun for him right now.

Emphasizing that it is a fun thinking game where you have to make good guesses (with incomplete information) instead of emphasizing the gambling/money side is how I am handling it.

Goodluck,

Pokerscott
