Message: [QUOTE="RogueRivered, post: 1259384, member: 45593"] You may never get to be world class starting at 40, but you should be able to be profitable at some level. Top level chess players start to lose some of their stamina or endurance or mental capacity (or something) by age 40, but there are a few that maintain their strong play even older than that. I was a tournament chess player for many years, and now at age 45, I don't think I could ever reach my previous level of play. My brain just doesn't want to work that hard. But I am enjoying learning and studying poker at this advanced age! On a related note, I've discovered that studying poker books is easier for me than chess books. I think they must be easier to write, too, although at least with chess nowadays you can run all the variations through a computer to make sure you don't miss anything. There's certainly no shortage of chess or poker books coming out all the time. [/QUOTE]
