Teach them both. My son learned chess when he was around five, and we play every now an then, and he plays online as well with his mates. Since he turned fourteen he's been invited to our poker games with friends as well. To be fair, he never gambles with his own money, as I provide his buy in, and he just keeps what he makes or loses it all. There's more to casual games of poker than just gambling, strategy and luck though. There's chat, shit talking, socialising and bonding. I figure I'm just teaching him how to adult.
