Message: [QUOTE="archangelzx, post: 1903847, member: 86987"] Id have to say dont encourage poker at a young age mainly because it can get addictive and out of control. When I was 16 I was playing tournaments at my local pub with a Fake I.D and doing alright. The pub owners found out and said it was okay as long as i was willing show it to the police if they ever requested it. It was this encouragement that I feel was wrong, I then went to online poker at 17 and was losing alot of money. Only now that I am 18, I have finally become a winning player at the low limits. My point is, poker is addictive at a young age, most teenagers won't be able to handle it if it is availalbe in real money form. Stay away from poker until you are mentally ready to handle the swings. [/QUOTE]
