Interesting.

I am 18 and started playing online by myself when my dad tought me how to play when I was 12. He is a live game player and has no idea how to even turn on the computer.

As for me, I say no because I dont want my children to be addicted at such a young age. If they wanted to play, I would teach em to play the way I learned, lots of reading and studying and grinding that is

Force them to read 5 books by sklansky before they even see a flop, if it's still exciting to them then fine.

By the time your kids are old enough they will be
playing on their cell phone/blackberry/watch/fax/navel-ring.

Your kids will try sex before poker...warn them about bad beats!

No way I would teach my kids to play at an early age. Maybe later though when they are 20+.

im going to charge my kids to pay, making them do chores in return for lessons. Then, i will stake them, taking some hugely unfair percentage for the staker, me. Then, since i will have created all their accounts (under my affiliation) i will break into said account, stealing their money. This will be to teach them to protect their info. Then i will restake them with a worse deal.

peace

If they want to learn, I have no problem teaching them, but I'm not going to sit them down one day and just introduce poker...

But if they're going to play anyway, I might as well teach them how to do it right, and teach them how to properly control their money etc.

I plan on chaining my kids to the desk and have a sweat shop going. They will earn their meals in the form of BB's.
