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

So your saying Brian Townsend has peaked?

Whats hes saying is that a player who dedicates them self to playing optimally from as early as possible will peak at 24, Brian has put nowhere near that kind of effort into his play and is still developing.

Also, I think that top chess players are better at chess than basically anyone is at anything, and I don't think poker will be that way any time soon.
