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

[ QUOTE ]
40 year old = grown up with games in the woods (don't know how you yanks call it exactly, i mean that nature thing...) First computer contact in the office, has no clue

35 year old = grown up smoking joints, first computer contact PANG! in the gambling hall at age 13

30 year old = grown up smoking joints and doing E, first comuter contact at age 8, MS Windows 3.1, MS Flight Simulator (save donkey kong)

25 year old = grown up seeing his older brother get [censored] up on Grass and E, playing NES/SNES/PS1, first computer contact at 3, watching all those funky colors on that brand new SVGA-Monitor

20 year old = grown up in the nineties (need i say more) first computer contact at age 1,5 when his mother has had enough and lets him play with daddys playstation...

now why do you think younger players are the better multitablers?

ooh...and i think it's obvious to which age group i belong...

Young Internet Pokah Balla = Most likely loser in HS or College, living with parents (or dorm... same thing) whacks off twice a day (no girlfriend), Makes some cash (but doesn't aquire wealth), eventually becomes a gambling degenerate (due to lazy work ethic) when the inevitable bad run starts.

Maybe makes it... prolly won't (odds are against).
see.. Newhouse, Neverwin, etc.

Stupid Poker Playing Depends Wearing Old Guy = Plays poker a few hours a week for fun. Has wife and kids to feed, house and assets to maintain, age gives him the wisdom to know gambling is a very tough way to make a living (much easier ways to make money and build wealth)
see... Andy Beal or any other poker playing CEO or Entrep. multimillionaire [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
