Can you allow high school kids to play cash games?

Not online. I wouldn't break TOS. But I definitely have bought my kids into nickel night home games at my house.
 
Only if they could show that they are a proven winner at whatever stakes they are choosing to play at and are practicing good bankroll Management (occasional shot-taking allowed obviously).

BUT I refuse to listen to any badbeat stories... AND if I hear one 'RIGGED' comment coming out of their mouths their internet privileges will be cut off immediately!

how they sign up to a site will be on them. I would take no part in it. I would prefer if they chose to hold off and wait until they are at least 10years old before signing up to an online poker site. I understand that it is likely they can be a proven winning micro stakes player at under 10yrs. of age but I think it's important that they focus on their 'times tables' (ie. basic math that will be essential to their poker careers - multiplication & division, %, ratios etc)

Check out this Hyper Turbo 6-max SnG specialist!! When your top set of QQ vs. AK (air... ie. @freerobert ) doesn't hold vs. runner runner straight, just know that some young online superstar grinder might be on the other end of that internet connection.

No absolutly not mind is not full matured even older people have gambling issues imagine a kid just let be legal.
 
I never know as I was introduced to poker at the age of 18+.

If you play for fun and don't mention the cash implications then it may work but high school kids will be high school kids.

I remember the history of the online poker boom and many high school kids used to hide they were playing for real money.

It can be a road to knowhere but some have prospered.
 
Below 21 yo is not allowed inside the casino. After 21 yo they could decide for themselves to gamble on cash games. I will not give my kids money for gambling. When they have work they could decide what to do with their money.
 
There would be no addition to their allowance for them to play poker, and by giving them an allowance, the incentive would be for them to buy whatever toy/game/candy they wanted and save a portion to invest in the long term.

If they wanted to play poker they would have to understand that the money lost there would be a toy/game/candy that they could have bought and won't be able to. I wouldn't stop them from playing for the following: if they were good players, they would start making money at an early age. If they were bad, they would have to learn from an early age to deal with their frustrations, and difficult moments make strong men, childhood is the ideal time to teach someone how to deal with difficult moments.

Adults who do not know how to deal with difficult moments are like that because they were not subjected to such an experience as children, in which they could have already learned something.

NOTE: If you are an intelligent child who learns easily, if you are the one who is in recovery, you don't understand mathematics, without a chance, at all.
 
my friends & myself started playing poker games for money by the time we were 11yrs. old. As teenagers in highschool, it was a regular thing at lunch hour. My mother taught us how to play once we were old enough to hold the cards. (5yrs. old) and we always played for money but it was very small amounts.

Wow, it's a very complicated topic because if adults who are adults who are aware of their actions lose control in a rough patch, imagine what a child can do. The truth is, I think it's better to finish school.
 
I think that any prohibitions lead to even greater desire in the child, and it is necessary to explain that some things lead to health and mental problems, as for poker, it is more of an intellectual game, I would try to explain and take part in order to at least somehow control process,
but refusal = this simply gives the child the opportunity to improve his lies
 
Definitely i would not allow my child to play real money poker at under 18 , But it is OK to let him learn the game and play home games with the family.
 
no bro dont let the kid to play poker its so bad for one kid to play poker my opinion 😊
 
Financial literacy for children is an important skill that will help a person in the future to properly build relationships with finances. The child will learn how money works, how it can be earned, saved, and how to make the right economic decisions.
 
In my opinion I think you should learn the game of poker because it's another learning experience for high school people, no objection.
 
All gambling is illegal for children under 18 years of age.
In my case, I started earlier and my parents explained to me and gave me the amount and time I spent on poker, always as a father-son pastime regardless of prizes or betting amounts.
 
I would tell those kids to be patient and wait until they are 18 years old.They are too young to play for real money.
 
18+. (If you old enough to die for your country (soldier age) you should be allowed to drink and gamble)
 
there will always be one kid who can be good at a particular skill and could be making very successful. but that doesn't mean all kids should start playing poker at a young age
 
The child's psychology is still weak, the game will interfere with his studies, he will cease to fulfill his labor duties...And the loss of time in tournaments.... he'll stop socializing with his peers...
