btw If he's into it, this is a cool idea. I don't think it matters so much where he starts his journey, I just hope you let him move into the games and structures that he wants to.

I wish someone had really shown me poker 10 years ago.

Unless he steals his first bankroll he will never know the value of money.

but really, are you kidding me? Let him earn his own money to blow at poker. You are enabling a minor to get into a habit which can be an addiction.

He already does a lot of community service in school and will continue to do so. He's been doing community service since cub scouts, student council, Key Club (Kiwanis), etc.

He will be learning a lot of life skills by playing poker, as the Sklansky/Schoonmaker article last month indicated so.

The neurolinguistic programming training ensures this does not happen.

A high IQ and the ability to play monopoly isn't enough to make you a good poker player.

Does the kid want to play or are you forcing him?

A relative has guaranteed him 11/hr. at Walgreens. I told him to consider poker first before going for it. He can always get the job anytime he wants to.

I made it clear that my offer is an offer. Not a command or a request. He says he will take the offer. He is a very good student.

The reason I made the post is to hopefully get some advice on how I should go about maximizing his learning in the least amount of time. Purely self taught without any instructions from me.

I never told him that it should be a career. It's just another subject in school but with a potential for income. But not a career.
