Message: [QUOTE="pricecube, post: 1718369, member: 78723"] I remember when I was 13 or 14, me and my mates would play poker using matchsticks as chips with a poker book permanently open on the page that showed which hands beat which hands. It was a lot of fun despite none of us really knowing why we were betting or bluffing etc. If I were teaching poker to a kid, I'd start out with a real deck of cards and walk them through the basics. Then I'd let them watch me play online so they could see the lessons in a real context. If after all of that they were still interested, then I'd point them in the direction of books and videos. As long as the parents of the kid didn't mind them learning poker, then it could be fun and it might also make the teacher explore some ideas they might have forgotten over the years! [/QUOTE]
