You would accept poker as a school subject?

I see poker as a game of the mind, but the vast majority of families see poker as a game of chance, so they wouldn't accept this discipline in schools too easily. But it would be nice to attend a class with Professor Daniel Negreanu.

I think that is over doing it. kids need to learn to be responsible for there living. gambling is not a responsible life,

this would be my favorite subject

It's already a discipline of life, everything you face seriously is always a path. It is not necessary to be included in a school subject, just be where you are.

Of course not. There is a lot to learn at school for children. For them, poker is just a thing at their age. That's when they reach adulthood, then at will.

Well, according to terms and conditions, games are for adults, but let me tell you something, there is already a school subject called probability and statistics, most engineering schools include it, they don't talk exclusively about poker, but Who talk about Events that can occur, such as flipping a coin, have a 50% chance of a head and a 50% chance of a cross, as well as the chances of getting a pair of a certain number in a deck of cards. The rest can easily learn the value of each number. From a pair of two pairs, a third of a straight, a color, a full house or a poker player, the probability that one of these will come out is lower compared to each other, so there is a winning hand because you are the least likely to get it in relation to the other

well I think I went a long way and gave a mini class greetings: D

No way. Many better stuff to learn at young age.

722Wade722 · Nov 26, 2022

There’s far more important school subjects, and they do eventually learn about probability. What needs to be taught is how to manage finances and/or accounting. Way too many people don’t know how to handle money, especially when they’re around the age they can legally take on debt.

rachelle2291 · Nov 26, 2022

Kids definitely should be taught good gambling principles in school, things like how to calculate odds, discipline and patience, bankroll management etc. Instead they just get it drilled into their heads how bad gambling is. I think part of the problem as to why there are so many problem gamblers in society is that they are never given the tools at a young age so they can be good at it. Of course these skills can also be applied in other things in life like business decisions and investing in the stock and commodities markets.

First comes to my mind is math lesson about variance but here in Finland there is already good university-level research made by smart people, e.g about brain of poker player, what happend there and how that effect us, when we tilt, or not to try to tilt, when we win or lose, etc.

alabos · Nov 26, 2022

No never........poker is not for the kids....and i know we love playing but its not so important later carreer

D0nk3y Hunt3r · Nov 26, 2022

Yes, in some softer form, though.

What a stupid idea!

I agree! Poker is our favorite game, but you don't need to impose it on everyone around, and even more so include it in the school curriculum. Imagine if everyone did this? There will be chess, football, volleyball and much more 😂

arshuns · Nov 26, 2022

Poker is a game of chance. Of course it shouldn't be like a game at school. But there are elements of poker such as mathematics, logic, and forecasting the consequences at school. So when we're out of school, we're ready for this great game.

helen27_7 · Nov 27, 2022

and no, this is not where they should be taught

vnnby · Nov 27, 2022

No, in my understanding, you need to be at a conscious age, and poker is not for everyone in adulthood. However, children need to be prepared for adulthood.

ztibor72 · Nov 27, 2022

Poker as a subject? Rather not.
But math could be taught by involving poker.
I think the students would also be more interested in calculating probability, calculating percentages, etc.

YuriSLopes · Nov 27, 2022

Definitely.

I've seen a few universities having it on Math/statistics majors and classes.

I do need to improve a lot on my math and learning it through poker would be great.

Actually there should be a whole school of poker, a physical one.

satriyo · Nov 27, 2022

I love poker. But placing it as a subject of study in a school seems to me not appropriate. Perhaps at the university level it could be, but for minors I do not think it is convenient,

sincos · Nov 27, 2022

No. Poker shouldn't be forced on kids...

HeiligerKevin · Nov 27, 2022

Poker shouldn't be a subject in school, since there aren't really many things to learn for life that can't be taught by other subjects, like probability in maths.

G0930 · Nov 27, 2022

Absolutely,not as a single subject though but It would fit right in with some aspects of math.
When I can introduce a kid to chess why not poker? Both are mind games . Poker just has the stigma of being considered as gambling.
But both are not important enough to be a school subject. I'd like to see games like chess and poker to be included approprietly within the curiculum

ppartizan2 · Nov 27, 2022

Ofcourse not poker is a gamble game after all,and I dont think teaching children how to gamble at a young age is smart.

Gallarado777 · Nov 27, 2022

I think this subject should be taught around the university because school will break the child's psyche
