Ben,

I am 24, graduated from an ivy league school with a business degree and have been playing poker on a daily basis for about 5 years.  I have profited over 130k in the last few years alone.  Here are my answers to your questions.

1.  I have been playing poker since i was 15, but I have been playing poker seriously for about 4-5 years.  I would say I've been playing professionally for about 18 months now.

2. and 3.   When I began playing poker, I knew that age didn't play a factor. Age is not a factor in poker.  You see these poker 'prodigies' that have taken over the poker world.  Experience is the only thing that matters.  Nowadays, young players have gotten so good at poker because of the infinite tools online they can have access to.  Older players generally are not computer savvy and are stuck in their ways.  So again age has no factor in determining skill level, to be honest, most younger players are more experienced than the older players nowadays because we have seen so many more hands due to multi tabling online.

4.  Experience is all that matters.  As I said above, age has no factor and in reality it is all about how much time and work you put in to becoming a better poker player.  The online player has a huge advantage b/c he/she sees so many more hands in a such a short period of time as opposed to sitting at a live table and seeing 25-30 hands per hour.  The important thing is that an online player can learn from mistakes more quickly and is put in so many different situations at a faster rate than a live player.

Hope that helps.
