Poker is associated in my mind with two things:
(1) First and foremost, it is associated in my mind with family vacations, trips to our family's mountain cabin (a humble place built by my dad, uncle, and grandfather), and long evenings of playing with cards and poker chips and my dad's fun gameside prattle.
As an adult, my husband and I had a few evenings like this with our kids, too - loads of different poker games, unsteady stacks of poker chips, and trying to look past each others' bluff faces.
(2) The second thing I think of when I hear the word "poker" is Las Vegas, smoky casino rooms, the sad-to-me view of people spending money trying to win more money while drinking too much alcohol.It's like the opposite of "family fun"!
Of course there are all sorts of poker experiences, many which fall between these two poles! I totally get that my own dislike of Las Vegas and gambling doesn't mean that everyone gambling in Vegas is bad or sad!!! And there are people playing poker in all sorts of places, from tents set up in national parks to dorm rooms, from churches to nightclubs, from homes to arcades.
The fact of the matter is that poker CAN be fun and a great brain exercise. There are so many different kinds of poker, and all of them deal with probability!
Here is a primer on basic poker rules.
Here is an article on the probability of poker.
