Keeping in mind that most of us, as teenagers only thought on a first level, the idea of getting a youngster to begin thinking a little deeper, and learning that there are consequences to their actions can not be seen in any way to be a negative thing.

You have a wonderful opportunity here.  Not only can you guide her, you will prepare her for so many other aspects of life.  She will have to learn patience, seldom a trait any teenager develops.  She will have to develop a BRM frame of mind, which goes hand in hand with patience.

She will have to learn how to deal with bad beats which happen daily in real life.

The only thing you might really have to deal with is the potential for an addictive personality disorder to express itself.  So concentrate maybe on the ethics involved with poker.

If you have read Super System, you know Doyle spends several pages describing the unsavory early days of his career.  The things he had to endure are not common anymore, and I believe it is because the ethics involved in poker these days has gone way up.  Teach her how to be a shark at the table but maintain a decent composure off the table.

Not to mention that you will be spending quality family or father daughter time with her, and she will carry that with her forever.
