Nobody in my family plays poker. My relatives think playing poker is a waste of time and throwing money away. But I don't even care about them and every now and then I make some money from poker games.

My father's side of the family loved playing poker, every Friday night was poker night at the house. If for on my dad's lap and watch. He taught me to play when I was ten. We went to the horse races a lot and eventually my entire family moved to Vegas. Playing poker and loving the game is in my genes. I'm not a champion, but I've won tournaments and I play every day. Poker is in my genes. What about you?
I am the only person in the family who plays poker, the rest of the family don't even know the rules of poker! My family is generally negative about all gambling! Good luck at the tables!

My grandfather liked to play cards, my dad didn't, and well then I come, but I don't play too much, I would say that my thing is social poker.

No one in my family have ever been into a casino. The last time they played the national lottery was ages ago. So I don't really come from such a family. I think poker is a game of skill, so I don't see myself as a gambler either, but as a player that tries to improve his game by watching videos, reading and playing online as well as live

Yes, but they use to gamble just for gamble, when I decided to gamble I choose one game to be as best as I could be.

There was always a game going when I was little just not poker. I call myself I gambler not a poker player because I will play any two cards, call with them and raise with them when I feel like it. No strategy what so ever

If the lottery (and a few sport betting) can be included here, yes.
But no one in my family has played poker before me, I think.

My father was a gambler, I myself played a lot in my youth. When the Internet appeared, poker appeared. My brother is gambling. I don’t know what kind of son he will be only 10 years old. But football is already interested.:):):)

I am actually the only one in my family.
For my parents it's nothing tangible.
Especially online they don't trust it and think there are more meaningful leisure activities.
With time they have learned to accept it and realized that poker is not just pure gambling.

The only parallel is maybe the day trading of my father, completely without luck that probably does also not work :D

Nope not really, I know some like to gamble but no one as much h as I do comes to mind. I definitely didn't learn gambling from family either I fell in love the first time and will always love gambling. When I was in my early 20's it was a problem but after a few years I was able to fix that and really Hone in on poker only and sometimes roulette !!!!

Not. I'm the only one who plays poker, so they don't understand why I love playing.

I'm the only one in the family that plays poker, I tried to teach my brothers how to play but they find two card poker too boring, so I gave up teaching. Good luck to everyone at the tables.:)

Hi.
No one in my family was interested in gambling except me. Although in general no one criticized me for my hobby.
Good luck.
