Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1911526, member: 33113"] [B][I]How do the first 2 questions even relate? Say I play poker 3 days out of the week, ~5hrs. on two weekdays & 8hrs. on Sunday. How would that have anything to do with how often my child would be playing? (we do have two completely different schedules during the week... pretty sure I don't attend grade school from 9am-3pm each day).[/I][/B] [B][I]"gambling is addictive as hell"[/I][/B] [B][I]Again, I don't think even much focus would even need to be on 'gambling'. I'm referring to 'teaching them how to play the pokerzzz'. Not sure how you automatically relate playing poker to the 'addictive nature of gambling'? Oh sorry... we have played on the same tables in the past so no need to answer that one, lol.[/I][/B] [B][I]Seriously though, there is soooooo much to learn about the game & when I made the comparison to 'chess' it wasn't in regards to > 'okay so teach them how to play chess for monieezzz'. It was to make a comparison between the two as in developing a skill set for a game of skill (aka 'poker').[/I][/B] [B][I]Are we hoping to teach him/her a lesson or something? (meaning > do we want them to lose or something? aka SuperSystem sucks imo).[/I][/B] Not sure why you've said "the kid will play one way or another" like it's some sort of BAD thing or something???? We had a blast as a family playing poker when I was a kid. Also had alot of fun with the neighbours & their kids/relatives/etc. As far as it being easier to learn the game live as opposed to online/computer for a child goes, I think it'd be easier on the computer where the number of chips in all players stacks are labelled for you along with the size of the pot. (this makes it wayyyyy easier). More hands/hr. too (lol.. couldn't resist). [/QUOTE]
