Being born and raised in Texas it was just a part of life. As a child I would see the poker-chip-carousal at all of my relatives' homes. They never let me see them play but my cousin and I would be the one's to get the beverages and snacks during these "get-togethers". We didn't know sh!t from Shinola but we played "our" game of poker until I played in a game w/one of my teachers from daycare. We used checkers for chips, lol. That's when I found out about the different hands and what hand beats what. 
I used to play dominoes w/my grandfather. One day I asked him if he wanted to play poker and he looked at me like I took some of his chewing tobacco and spit in his eye. I think I was 10 or 11 at the time. He explained that it was an adult game and all that jazz. Ten years later I went to jail and played in a nightly game of 5 card draw using Scrabble tiles for chips; a nickel a tile or 20 tiles for a $1. Hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? :dontknow:
