[coolieo69er]

I also disagree with also. I confonted my parents onec about it. They just say it's his money so let him spend they way he wants. I know other parents also do this because my broth goes to a game at some ones house almost evrey week usually with ten other people.

I think at least half the noobs on here are under 18. If you make unintelligent posts and beg for money, I'd say there's a good chance you are living with mommy. Living with mommy is not a bad thing, as long as you don't act like a fool and actually want to learn poker and not beg for money or freerolls. Poker is the in thing right now. If poker was this popular when I was in high school, I'm sure there would've been all kinds of games going on in school. With poker being the in thing, there are tons of people who are playing now for that reason. As soon as poker dies down, they will be gone, on to the next fad. I don't think playing for lunch money will turn people into gambling addicts later in life. Some possibly, but not the majority. They will eventually get tired of poker (and losing) and move on.

I remember skateboarding was the thing in 1988/89. Then collecting sports cards from 89/93. What else has there been. Bowling was huge back in the late seventies early eighties. Skateboarding has actually came back in the last five years. I think poker's popularity will die down in the next year or two then there will be another hobby or activity that explodes onto the scene.

Dude, I can imagine playing a fucking 7 minute ring game at lunch, getting sucked out by fucking 37o with your AA to drop your allowance.

Then you go to the next class and your tilted and you flunk your Social Studies exam.

for little kid if they learn at all its best to learn young where you can teach then to play whith chips or like everyday lucnhbox items like gummies and other sthiongs like that while they diont have moeny... that way they can play and get in teh habit of playing for fun and for free.. it should lower the risk of real moen y gambling habits.. also ban them from the computer so they dont get into some deep shit with loans ofr debts.. or in trouble with the law..

you guys talk about teens as if they are kids, i mean i agree with you guys saying it might cause problems for them later on, but looking at the pros, they all started playing poker at a young age. but i gotta say, during their time it wasnt like this.

PS: i think that poker will stay big until around 2010 or 2015, because at the rate that its going at, i think that there will be like 50,000 people at the 2010 wsop.

well once there is 50,000 people in the wsop i will never participate lol,, and by that time the security people wont be carring pump shotguns anymore but full auto shotties and machineguns or full auto assault rifles lol.. thatll b the day though.
