Re: What to do with a Child who plays SNG\'s?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Your wife is a wise person by the sounds of it. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Be careful OP. This type of thing leads to divorce and restricted visiting rights. Believe me, I know. If bad things go down, Boy is going to ask you someday "Dad, is it true you and Mom split cuz you let me play poker?" Have him learn chess.

Have him learn chess. [/ QUOTE ] Because no marriages ever spilt over father's obsessions with their children's chess careers, eh? How much time do you spend around first generation E Euro or Russian immigrants famlies?

[/ QUOTE ] Okay..how about this...he's *very* likely too old to be able to make a living playing chess if he starts learning now. There is basically 0.00000001% chance he could be a world class player. Yugoslav

OP - dowutchalike. I don't know dick about your family life and am absolutely unqualified to comment on it. I just have first hand knowledge of a marriage breaking up and to some extent the father's lack of discouraging his <10 year old son's poker career had an impact on the outcome. If somebody had warned the father, things might have worked out differently to a degree.
