Poker starting age?.
I have a 3 yr. old daughter. I plan to teach her to play, so that, if the online games stay this active or grow, she will be a multi-millionaire by the time she hits her 18th birthday. All her earnings will go into a separate trust account.
She will play 3 hours per day as an extra curricular activity, along with other activities. What's a good age to start?.

Re: Poker starting age?.
I say none-of-the-above because you really should not be forcing a minor to gamble. Gambling is bad for so many people because they can't handle it, if she wants to learn, make sure to teach her right, if not, let her do whatever she wants.

Re: Poker starting age?.
I apreciate your input. FWIW, I think mastering gambling and managing risk is one of the biggest edges one can give to one's child. Take it from someone that learned to do it far too late in life.

Yeah, your kids should be able to choose whatever hobbies they want. It's their life, not yours! But if she wants to get into gambling ( sounds amusing), then learn her how it's done the right way.

You would be better off teaching her about investing. Poker is still just a game and has many pitfalls for somone at a young age. If she is good and takes to the game you run a real risk of it taking away from school.

Right. Your daughter has about a 0.0000362% chance of being a multi-millionaire by 18 because of poker. Why not just make her contribute her allowance to your hedge fund instead?

Re: Poker starting age?.
IMHO, school and university are, mostly, useless. Except to create a "system drone". This is a very against the grain opinion, from someone that graduated with honors in record time, and learned little of value.
Social and people skills, math and general knowledge, are the only pluses I see in attending school/university/etc. The rest, it's better to hire a drone than to waste time learning. The most successful people I know have little to no formal training. Maybe it's an anomaly.
