This is a weird request because they are really dudes. You want me to post pics of my male cousins?

Exactly
This

I was playing poker for money with my grandfather and his buddies when I was 10.

used to play about that age when we were at the hunting camp, what's the big deal?

She won one yesterday playing loose. She went all in on a 8-4 and got a straight.

I taught my son when he was 7 and 15 years later, he has become quite the player. He doesn’t have a gambling problem and loves the game.

I'll "raise" what I said earlier to the OP and be more specific...

I played "Setback" with my Dad, Grandfather, Great Aunts, Great Uncles, Uncles, Older Cousins for money starting at about 7-8 and played as long as they were able for years. They cursed, they drank, and they smoked so I was around second hand smoke, oh the horrors.

Now this was in "the country" when we would visit my grandparents' place frequently growing up, out in the boonies a bit. I absolutely loved every aspect of this though. It drew me closer to my family, it taught me many things, they learned to respect my game, I observed ways I didn't want to act by drinking too much, smoking, etc...myself, I wound up never smoking, seldom drinking, not much of a gambler, pretty straight laced BUT I YEARN to have one last game with my family that has since passed. I miss those days. They were care-free, fun, happy times.

You raise your kids right and a bit of vice type fun won't matter. A few games of cards wagering a few bucks can teach a lot...but if the kid is well grounded from proper upbringing, they will just learn some and be just fine down the road with good memories just like I have now from growing up. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything!

Are you mad that you lost all your money to a 10 year old?

Nobody on earth wants to hear your bad beat story.

Nobody.
