Its all about the parents no matter what you teach them at any age, teach it right and you can do no wrong
I don't know about you, but if I were in your place I would not be taught to their children, because I am a gambler and at 32 had a lot of problems because of this. because they are my children I was able to get the gambling gene,and if in the future they will have problems because of cards, the fault in this, I will. I think that they should they approach you with a request to teach them. DON'T DO THAT!!!!Id love some opinions on teaching my kids how to play poker.
They all love card games and are quick to pick up new games.
I guess my reservation is teaching them a gambling game which could lead to problems later in life with managing their money.
They're aged around 12, 10 and 9.
Any thoughts?

I dont have children but I was exited reading your answer!!!That is so nice .I am still young enough but already wish to teach my kid poker and play together.This is strange and warm feeling inside)))I play poker with my son (he's 9 now) all the time. We've been playing for at least a couple years. The majority of the time, we just play for chips, but he's played for real money multiple times. A few times, I have bankrolled him. That's usually when we have a family game and the buy-in is like $20 (which is a bit beyond his reach). But, usually, I make him use his own money. We play low enough, max buy-ins of $2-$5 that he doesn't get too hurt.
He doesn't like losing, which is part of the reason I think it's good for him. He needs to learn to lose gracefully. We talk about the math, the strategy, discipline and other things you need for the game. We use logic and rational thinking. When we're playing heads-up, he says it's more like being in school than playing a game.
I think it's been good for him.
maybe if you were taught at a young age to act in a proper manner you would`t have had so much problems?I don't know about you, but if I were in your place I would not be taught to their children, because I am a gambler and at 32 had a lot of problems because of this. because they are my children I was able to get the gambling gene,and if in the future they will have problems because of cards, the fault in this, I will.
