Welcome aboard. And as resident smart ass here. :P I would like to say that if you spent as much time learning to spell correctly you'd be a genius.

I don't think teeenagers playing a game is bad. There is alot of money to be won playing Magic the Gathering. And parents don't moan about trading card games. Although the prospect of losing a pot of money to a teenager is disheartening to me. I'd rather that happen to me, than some kid be out there getting into trouble.

Just as long as your playing dosen't interfere with school and family. You're okay in my book. And playing poker is one heck of a part time job, lol! (If you're good enough.) Anyway you cut it. It's still just a game. Not life.
