One Eye Lefty 0 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Daniel,I love the idea. However, as a parent of three young boys 7,9, & 11 I struggle with wanting them to learn the game & teaching them not to gamble. I myself have been playing for years & they have picked up way to much from dear old dad. These boys will put you all in with nothing. Should sound familier. Point being you're well respected & big in your poker community. I just fear that the perception of you by the world may change. AND we all know that perception is everything.My family wishes you continued success. Link to post Share on other sites

greatwhite 0 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 How can you teach your kids not to gamble, but play poker? Poker is gambling. Link to post Share on other sites

One Eye Lefty 0 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 My children either watch me online or at home games & see the excitement the game brings. Poker is not gambling !!!! We use it to gamble. Of which I have no problem. I'm just scared of the shadow it may bring over Daniel's name. People new to the game or with young children may believe that he is promoting gambling & that it is a way out of their current lives. That being said I understand that it is my responsibility to make my children understand the difference. No problem!! Just trying to show him a different view. I'm sure that he has thought of if not struggled with the thought of this game. As I stated I LOVE the idea. I will purchase the game & my whole family will play & hopefully learn from it. I will continue to support Daniel in any way possible. I love his play & admire his position in life. Just giving an opinion from my view as a young (31) parent of three small children that enjoy the likeness of Daniel. PERIOD Link to post Share on other sites

Poker_roo 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i think that's where you're wrong...you can get the buds together and go down to the bowling alley for fun, go play some golf for fun, but generally you have to have something riding on the line for poker to be worthwhile, and i don't think that'll change.I disagree I have had just as much fun playing for no money as I have playing for money. I just love playing poker period whether it be for play money or real money. I can't wait for this game to come out. Link to post Share on other sites
