Can only answer that in the past tense of "did".

Now all my kids are all adults. My job was to instill character and tools to make good decisions.
The rest is up to them and I no longer have a say.

are you a successful or not successful poker player, will you teach your son to play poker? and do you mind him gambling?
I don't have children, but I do have a dog. I don't think she should start playing poker, although maybe it's not such a bad idea. The dog would play poker, earn money, and I would just travel the world and develop.

I wouldn't want to teach my son to gamble. That would not be right. If my son wanted to, he could learn to play by himself. But, if I knew that my son plays poker, then I would definitely recommend him to become a member of the CardsChat community. That would be right.

If your child showed an interest in the game and asked you to teach them, would you do it then?

I've been playing cards since I was a kid. I played them even before I went to school. And I definitely wouldn't want my children to follow in my footsteps. I would like my children to play sports, music, learn languages, but I definitely don't want them to be gamblers.
*and I don't consider poker a sport :)

Obviously, I'm going to teach him all the card game techniques, I'm going to teach him to play cards since he was a child, I'm going to play with him all the time, I suppose I'm at the amateur level who wants to become a professional, fortunately I don't have children yet, it will have impacted my gaming career but I'm going to have some soon if God allows, good luck to you

My son got a set of chips and cards at an age of 10, and knows how to play poker.
We talk about my wins and looses, but he don’t play poker.

It would be good if someone taught us how to play poker properly because many people don't know how to do it and just lose money. etc

My parents actually got my son interested in poker…my mother was a very good player. My son was using my account at Full Tilt when he was 12 years old…he enjoyed beating the “adults “, and won a 360 player tournament and a ticket to the Saturday $1000 tournament. Now, I hope to live long enough to teach my grandchildren ages 3 and 18 months.

I don't have any children yet, but I think it's not a good idea to teach children to spend time gambling. It's better to teach my son something more useful, like cooking or cleaning the apartment. Then I would have more free time and I could teach my son to go shopping and do other important household chores and then I would have even more time for poker.

If he wanted, yes I would teach him, but only after he was an adult. Before I wouldn't teach him because I would like him to focus on his studies and choose his college. After that, no problem.
