The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs online)

[Bonified]

Very interesting read. Although this is ridiculously small-sample and anecdotal, I wonder about the stress/ageing point. It's remarkable how many of my poker-playing friends around the same age (late 30s early 40s) look much, much younger. Then again, none of us have any kids, that might also be a factor :-)

I didn't read all the replies so I don't know if this has been said and i suspect it has, but isn't it possible that a federer or 'perfect' player of poker has actually evolved but can't gain near perfect results or results as good as federer due to the luck and swings involved in poker?
