Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6188859, member: 430261"] I didn't start playing on-line Poker until I was in my forties, I have built several bankrolls playing free-rolls and my biggest to date is with Pokerstars which stands at over $580 Dollars now. Poker is what you want it to be, It can be a source of extra income, or an enjoyable past time, for me it is the latter, as I don't need an extra income from playing Poker, I just enjoy playing the game, and winning or losing, I really do not care what happens as long as I am enjoying the game. I am now 66 years old and have been retired for the last 8 years, I can I suppose call my self a Professional Poker player because I don't do any other form of work to support myself, but in all honesty, I just really consider myself to be a fun player, who wants to enjoy his retirement doing what I want to, as long as I don't hurt others. Playing Poker has no age restrictions, just look at Doyle Brunson, in his eighties and still mixes it up with the best, you don't need to be super fit to play Poker, just a sound mind. Play sensibly, stick to the 1% bankroll rule, and play games you feel comfortable with, don't try and go up in stakes until you feel you are ready, and enjoy the ride, it isn't only about the money, because you will encounter down swings and some times be on a losing streak, it happen's That's Poker! On-line will always be for fun, as I never wanted it to be anything else, Live games however I do consider more seriously and because I am not worried about Computer crashes, or internet failures, Glitches and Power cuts, I do play for bigger stakes, but it is like a Professional Racing driver will consider his safety when competing on the race track, and take calculated risk's but playing a race game on a computer will inevitably crash and burn every day because it is fun to play. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
