My father loved to play poker and he taught my brother and I when I was about 12 years old. He would stay out all night playing sometimes. One time on a family trip to Mexico the 3 of us went out and found a local game and played all night. Great memories to have now that he is gone due to cancer.


I'm sorry for your loss, I lost my father in 2011. I have similar memories of poker. Good times. VERY good times 😀

When I was a kid I played 21 with my dad and canasta with my grandma and Aunt. Fun times! Mum like to play roulette and the pokies here and there. She seems to do ok.

My brother used to have a betting and slot machine games addiction. Thankfully, he's cured.

In fact, no one likes me to play poker, this is due to the bad reputation they have for movies and series that portray poker players as cheating gangsters and people going bankrupt for not knowing how to stop, which is partly true but It was a long time ago now it is a game that is no longer illegal and they have a good reputation for tournaments and charismatic players in the world of poker. But I'll still keep playing so you can see that poker is not an addiction if you know how to stop.

No, practically I'm different from the family. I think it's fun, my son looks like it will be too.

No gambling family, I play because I like the game, and I don't play like gambling, I am considering it more like a strategy game and fun!

Everyone in my family has always been very negative about any kind of gambling. But everyone had a positive attitude to sports. So first I started betting on sporting events, and then I became interested in poker.

I have a brother who, like me, has always been a gambler. But in general, my family, my parents, have always been against gambling.

No, but Mom and Dad taught me how to play poker when I was 11 or twelve. After the Lawrence Welk Show ended at 8 on Saturday night, we'd play until Gunsmoke came on at 10. My parents always encouraged us in things that we took an interest in. :) I think that my interest in poker came from seeing so much of it in all the westerns that were on tv back then. The shooting came from summer camp when I was 9, and I guess from the westerns too. LOL!!

My family was the exact opposite of a “gambling family”. I’m the exception.
