poker for kids to play

Is playing poker with your friends illegal?

Is it legal for kids to play poker games at a friend's house for like $20 dollar buy-ins with like 12 people?? (i don't do this, just wondering)

I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY...

No, I LOL'D, hell no, not even if your playing for money, theres no law stating that you cant play poker, even for money. A baby can do it lol. I use to play people for money in pool, dont worry, its like monapoly, just a game...
