Poker is a major pasttime for my youngest - he is 19 and plays at least once a week - but you are right - he has his friends over - they drink soda - and play for 10-20.00 which is what it costs to go to the movies - He will even play with his younger cousins for nickles and dimes - they seem to really enjoy it - as long as it does not get out of hand - I have broached the subject of addiction etc.. because it runs in my family and he promises its just for fun
