Default Re: Just how young (and why) are the top players online?

[ QUOTE ]

Young players tend to not care as much about the money because we don't have wives/kids/mortgages. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

not that i am in the same class as these guys, but i am the oldest online player i know who regularly plays 25/50+. the only reason i was able to get any good was because i was in graduate school/law school and had the time to devote to learning poker (look at aba-he was in graduate school as well). college kids (or college dropouts) have more available time to devote to playing/learning poker then the average 24+ year old with a full-time job. This fall, when i start my job, i won't have as much time to devote to poker.

In addition, many of the people I went to school with who might be good at poker are making millions on wall street.

old people aren't stupid (although i know a lot of 2p2ers think my posts are stupid), we just don't have as much time, generally,
