Start with a non-poker game. Say, whist. Play it with my family. In particular, my father. Make sure he is your partner. You will learn. You'll also learn how to keep track of who played what, and what the odds are on what will be played next. If you cannot learn quickly enough, you may be subject to ridicule. Card games are taken as very serious competition in our family with extrodinary bragging rights attatched.
