I'm going to vote no.

I don't think that you are going to teach your kids to play online-poker.

18.

Don't teach your kids. Especially not before they are atleast 21. If you saw Joe Awada talking about his kids getting into online poker you will know my stance, excactly the same as hid, get the kids a real education, gambling destroys some people, you never know.

If they want to play I'll teach them, but certainly won't introduce them to online play until they're older.

I voted no, but I probably will end up teaching my kids (hopefully not for ten more years or so... I'm 19 right now) at some point, but I won't set out to do so. I think there's a distinct difference there.

im 20 and dont want to have kids for at least another 5-15 years. so itll be like 20-30 years until my kids are actually old enough to learn how to play poker and by then poker probably wont be nearly as possible. it might very well be though, only time will tell.

im going to try and instill mental discipline in my children. a good base foundation of correct logic and reasoning with a good grasp of reality and an understanding of EV. i think EV applies to many important things in life and im going to do my best to teach my kids about it.

some people just dont have it in them to learn/understand these concepts or they just dont want to. if my kids dont understand these concepts then thats ok but im not going to teach them poker. if they do and they want to learn it i will do my best.

of course my outlook on life will have drastically changed by then and i might very well be involved in an entirely different financial field that i would want my kids learning about instead of poker.

Default Re: What about teaching my mom

I dont think ill teach my kids how to play unless they for some reason get really into it then maybe id check it out just to make sure they arent on my buddy list.

I would probably teach my mom how to play unless she has shown signs of her love to gamble liek buying scratch tickest everyday like some paretns i know
