unfortunately no one in my family plays poker, because here in brazil it is not a traditional game, now with online poker, poker is very popular with the younger generation

In my family nobody plays poker except me. Generally in my country poker is still considered by many to be pure gambling and it takes time, efforts and most importantly - personal example and explanations to convince people that not everything depends on pure luck. Good thing is that as my parents see that i have strict bankroll management, play as hobby and balance with my other hobbies and job and even win some $ here and there they are completely ok despite the fact that they do not understand the game.

Me, sometimes my wife and my daughter. I taught my 11-year-old daughter poker at the time and I don't know how she does it, but she has already won many online tournaments (as an adult meanwhile). More than me. I think I am a better teacher than a poker player.

My Family had a good amount of card players but none of them were poker players
Like the poster above me, it makes for family home games to be not much in terms of a competition, and so we generally stick to games like euchre, hearts and gin
