A 9 year-old should be running in the woods, hunting, fishing, building tree houses, playing football in the yard, etc.

yeah, your 9 year old kid needs to running around with a gun shooting stuff, not engaging in dangerous activities like poker!

Sounds like you are teaching him to make +EV decisions from an early age-- How can it go wrong?

As well as not being interested in sports, he'll also likely not get interested in:

alcohol
drugs
sex
boys

and a whole list of other things you might be concerned about.

I don't have kids and am not married, so I'll refrain from saying anything other than asking STT for marital and parenting advice involving gambling is kinda like asking a bartender for advice about drinking.

wow, I guess I shouldn't have thought I was the only one. My son is 8 and is doing the same thing, although he is only doing 1 to 3 SNGs a week. He has always watched me play and watches poker on TV with me and a couple of months ago I let him play under my account. He doesn't have as high of an ROI as your son, but he is in the black.

My wife doesn't have a problem with it, but I think as long as your son is still active in other activities that can't be much of an argument and you will find that it gets them more interested in math.
