When a friend of yours who doesn't know anything about poker, but when he sees you playing online on your smartphone or laptop starts asking you questions about the game, do you have the patience and willingness to explain to the curious person how to play?

Do you feel motivated to teach about the rules and how to play poker for people who are lay and curious about poker?

Great opportunity to get someone on it.

First so you two can exchange, learn and grow together.

Probably after learning a little from you he might go his way and bring perspectives you never thought of.

I taught English and it was great cause I learned a lot from the students also.

And there's also the opportunity to make some $$$ from beating him at the felt.

Yeah, I could see myself explaining the game to them, if they were really interested.

Yeah for sure would be happy to teach young padawan. I was once in that same position and it was by losing money to more experienced friends that I learned the game, actually the primary motivation was to finally beat the guy who taught me the game!

Of course, why wouldn't I? They've got to know that it's one of those things I do for personal enjoyment and might make a buck or two in the process. Just sell it like poker's your favorite sandwich,"Yeah man, it's great. You like playing cards? Outwitting other people? Making some money? Ya do? Then have a bite!" :eating:

I have two people I know, they live in neighboring houses, they were at my house when I was playing online poker, they asked a lot of questions, of course the most important question was how to withdraw money? :D
I told them the basic knowledge, which cards are better to play, the chances of winning, poker math, which books to read. Well, at first they caught fire playing poker, played for a while, they told me about their successes :D, but when they realized that it would not be possible to win money quickly, their enthusiasm decreased :D and now, as far as I know, they have stopped playing poker in general, that's the way things are)).

I do not have the patience to explain, I would recommend maybe some YouTube video, what happens is that I do not know very well to explain myself because I know that in the end it will be difficult for you to understand me, I am not good at explaining and I would not want the person to lose interest in that:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

For me at work, such situations are not uncommon. Constantly all of each other strive to find out who has what kind of game on the phone. So it annoys me. Only someone comes up and distracts me, I close my phone case, it is inappropriate to meddle in other people's interests.

I think that there is nothing difficult in explaining the rules of the game to a beginner.

If they ask, I’m happy to answer about poker, I just avoid very silly questions.
If you are serious about getting started in poker, you will find plenty of opportunities for luck.

If these questions are related to the desire to play poker, then we can explain the basics to a beginner to play poker. And if it's a simple interest, then we'll get by with a couple of phrases with a joke.

My first time looking around the poker game was really curious. As I didn't see earlier the real play even online. But offline ones today is not so available, as it was earlier. So I am looking for the online casino Belgie or anything similar to enjoy the evenings after the work. Surely, it is necessary to find the reviews online, at least, first of all, to understand the essence of the provider. I am looking for the real clients minds and will be thankful for all of them!

I'd suggest just telling them that you don't know how to play and it might be best for them to just pick up a book to learn about the game.

It depends on the person. Sometimes you can see the natural poker player in people and it inspires you to teach them.

Yes , why not? Me myself was watching a friend of mine playing some years ago and he had the patience and the willingness to explain to me some basic strategy.

Furthermore if you are able to explain something to someone totally new to it that means that you understand it!
