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

Great read, enjoy the analogies to tennis and chess. An analogy to golf might be interesting as well; that seems to be a game where accumulated experience has greater value and peak age is higher than tennis or math/logic intensive intellectual pursuits, but where Tiger Woods-like training while young is necessary to become, well, Tiger Woods.

The brain function stuff is fascinating.

I'd like to hear more opinions from top level players on the skill set that the Federer/Kasparov/Woods would need to have.
