7. I’m sure some of the young players will pass me up, since they are getting better and I am declining as I get older.

That's a pretty interesting admission. I wonder what the peak years for poker play are, either specifically for Barry Greenstein or in general.

Really? It seems pretty obvious. Skills decline as you get older... Everyone knows that. It's more obvious in athletics, but why would anyone think it doesn't happen in poker?

Barry knows it firsthand as he has probably seen the decline of people like Doyle and others.

I thought the interesting part was Barry G admitting that he had already peaked and was starting to decline (unless I read that statement wrong).

I think being honest with yourself is an important trait if you expect to have long term success at poker. I guess that's part of why I wasn't surprised he brought it up.
