Who else in your household understands poker?

[Leandro Moecke]

Are you the only one in your household who plays poker or do you have other people in your family who also play and understand the sport?

My family plays poker(mostly NLHE), but also a few other card games as a "family activity"- we did/ do for generations... of course no money is involved and at least from what I know lol, I'm the only one that plays it for real money(both live/ online), to try to make some extra money as the cost of living in my country- from what I see online, pretty much everywhere around the World- is getting more and more expensive.. sigh...

PS. I don't really consider poker as sport, but also IMO it's not entirely gambling either- to make a short description: a game of chance where skill is a huge factor in you being successful...

Have a great Sunday everyone

I'm the only one in my family who plays poker.
I had an ex who was interested in it and tried to learn it.

I'm really the only one. My father knows the rules and we occasionally play heads-up poker with play chips for conversation and time together, but they aren't really a poker "player" if that makes sense. They play, but not a player. You regs out there know what I mean.

I'm the only one in the family who enjoys poker, but I hope my son will find it interesting as well.

Yeah, I’m the only one who actually plays. My wife just pops in to check how it’s going, if I’m winning, she stays for the “good vibes,” but if I’m losing, she suddenly remembers something important to do elsewhere 😄

 

[schtiuky]

Yeah, I’m the only one who actually plays. my brother played at some point but not anymore

 

[rufininha14]

no one in my house plays besides me

 

[claitonjr]

Myself lol

No one else in my household really understands poker like I do. They know the basics, but not the strategy or mindset behind it - so most of the time, I'm the only one talking about hands and ranges!

My children, I left them in the capital, 9 years ago, I had to come to the rural area to take care of my mother, because I am an only child.

In my family, everyone except me is completely indifferent to poker. But I don't try to get anyone involved in the game.

 

[yomarianob]

I'm the only one in my family. My father knows how to play, but rarely get interested in the game.

 

[Toruk Makto]

A brother of mine, by car! because I taught a little...

 

[moraeskvmi]

I'm the only one who sometimes talks to them using poker terms and they don't understand anything.

Poker is getting popular in my country, my younger brother is starting to get into it, and I'm slowly guiding him.

 

[chicbulls2]

nobody, I am the only one

Everyone in my family has played, usually together as a family. It's pretty easy to understand, but none of us considers it a "sport".

In addition to me, my daughter plays poker. But lately, she doesn't like it. So, I'm the only one playing in the family. It's neither good nor bad. However, sometimes I wish I could share my successes and failures with someone, but unfortunately, there's no one to do so.

 

[dannystanks]

My whole family plays poker, it’s great!

 

[RodrigoMartins]

I’m the only one in my household who plays. My family doesn’t really understand the game — they just think it’s gambling. 😅
But for me, poker is about strategy, patience, and discipline. I wish I had someone close who shared the same interest, it would make studying and improving even more fun!

PMe and my brother. Poker isn't well known where I'm from, imagine we only have one poker casino in the whole country

 

[MAFNL16061986]

We played poker nearly every sunday, when my father was alive. He enjoined poker as a family and competitive game. This is not a tragedy post or something like that. But the funny thing is, i often thought my father just likes putting chips in the middle and doesn't really take it serious. Many times i wonderered why he was the winning player. Now, after many years i respect that style and the importance of aggression. My other family members know my approach to the game and accept it, but we don't play anymore.
