It is better to teach children how to earn money. For example, to go shopping on behalf of neighbours, for milk, bread or whatever is needed. Or run other small errands or do the cleaning. Then you can create your own home system of taxation of children's income, and even take rent from children for living in an apartment. And you can use this money to play in buy-in tournaments.luckyfish98 said:
I still think that children should not play until they are of legal age, because it is a game of chance, no matter how you look at it. There are many different interesting games for children to develop attention and memory. And when a child reaches 18, it is their choice what to do and what to play.
I don't see any harm in that.
I am teaching my son who is 10 how to play momentarily.
He was always curious, but i told him then that when time comes i will show you.
As he reached 10 i told him then that the time has come and he was very happy🙂

Good question! I play poker myself and sometimes watch final tables on YouTube, so of course my kids see it and get curious. I have two sons, aged 5 and 8, and we have a nice big poker set at home. They often ask me to play with them, but honestly, they enjoy the chips more — the weight, the sound when they fall on each other. They already know a bit about betting rounds and raising, but they don’t understand odds or hand combinations yet. Teaching them to play online? I’m not sure, probably I’m against it — maybe only freerolls or play money games when they get older.
Poker can stimulate several good things, it is the game in which I have even been most frustrated, but thanks to the fact that I don't leave it today I deal a little better with it (with the frustration of losing), meanwhile, it can also influence bad things such as addictions to casino games, gambling, and other unpleasant environments. Besides that, I don't think that living poker is a very convincing lifestyle, at least where I live it's not very profitable, and I think that's going to leave a person very stressed.
Personally, I’m against teaching children to play poker.
Even though it’s a game of skill, it still involves money and risk.
I think it could lead to problems in the future, especially if they don’t fully understand the difference between playing for fun and gambling.

"I think it depends on how it’s taught. Poker can help kids learn math, probability, patience, and decision-making — but the gambling side should come much later. If it’s taught as a strategy game only, without money involved, it can actually be a great educational tool. But responsibility is the key!"
