Anyone old

I take offense. Poker point of view or not.

Enough bracelets are being taken down by young cocky hot shots.

Poker is about more than having the fearlessness and in-exhaustable energy of a 26 year old college drop-out.

Life experience and maturity are very fine qualities, and claiming it would be "-EV" for poker to see them take the high seat for once is little short of ludicrous.

Once again,

I'm not saying I didn't want someone older to win the bracelet. I'm speaking from strictly the point of view that if a 21 year old college frat boy won the WSOP, TONS of 21 year old college frat boys would begin to play poker. If a 65 year old grandpa won the WSOP, very very few 65 year old grandpa's are going to begin playing online poker.
