Does age matter in poker?

ChemfromUKR · Nov 16, 2023

I'm 40 years old, I've been playing poker for a year... How old are you and how much do you play?

GeckoAA · Nov 16, 2023

I am 58 and play poker pretty much every day that I can

. Ive been playing for over 10-12 or so years now.

I don't think the age itself is the same, the gaming experience is more important.

finaltable1 · Nov 16, 2023

Good side of this game is that you can play it at any age.

yogo9 · Nov 16, 2023

No, Age doesn’t matter in poker, intelligence, Endurance, Luck, Skill, Mental toughness play the biggest roles, I'm 32 years old and i have been playing poker for more than 10 years.

When i see nicks with certain numbers like "xxx1950" in freerolls, the most part of the time i put fish note. Probably don't make any logical reason, but i do

GolPen666 · Nov 16, 2023

I'm 44 and i play Poker for maybe 17 years.
I think age doesn't matter, but for myself, i have to say, i've been getting wiser, but this results because of the experencies...

We can play poker at any age, but in some cases age can affect our proficiency in poker. It can affect positively or negatively. The negative side is that as we get older, we can become less focused and attentive and forgetful, the positive side is It is that we may acquire, discover, and master skills and strategies as days pass.
I wish everyone good luck and health

enjoy the game, the main thing is your mindset, age is not the main thing

BelFish · Nov 16, 2023

In fact, age affects: if a person is 7 years old or 77 years old, then on average he will play worse than a person aged 30-40 years...

I've been playing poker for about 20 years, that's half my life ))

The good thing about poker is that everyone can play not matter how old you are.

pedrovitorcosta · Nov 16, 2023

i dont think so... we see young players going well and old player too... I believe that the important thing is your financial health

I dont think so

..it could count may if you want to take the circuit to play all games ..like EPTs ...here could count the fizical condition

mnoocvetko · Nov 16, 2023

age doesn't matter

LaNimmer · Nov 16, 2023

Age matters but unevenly. Some seniors are mentally and physically fit. Some not as much. As a senior I would say my memory and endurance is not what it used to be. The knowledge is there but the fast pace of tournaments today and the amount of time to get ITM is affected by age (most seniors are in some form of decline even if their QOL is still good). I love poker but I cannot play in 8-12 hour games much alone the tournaments that take multiple days.

laihuynh · Nov 16, 2023

I am 25 years old and quite enjoy playing poker with many older people to learn the experience.

dallam · Nov 16, 2023

This forum the average age can be around 40 or more, and many of these playing like a badass so don't worry..

Doctrix · Nov 16, 2023

I'm 42 and I played my first hand of poker 5 years ago. I play all day erryday now. I don't think you're too old! I belong to a stable of players and I'm not even the oldest one. There's a dude in there in his 50's.

Age itself is not a critical factor for success in poker. What matters is the player's skill, their ability to make strategic decisions, read other players, manage their bankroll, and handle the variations of the game. Players of different age groups have achieved success in poker, from young prodigies to more experienced players. However, it is important to mention that the accumulated experience over the years can bring an advantage in terms of knowledge of the game and the ability to read opponents. Additionally, emotional maturity can also play a significant role in the ability to handle the pressures and swings of poker. Overall, poker is a game where performance is primarily determined by individual skills and dedication to constant improvement, regardless of age.

I don't think age matters so much except that, in most things, younger people generally tend to take more risks

Emily Trott · Nov 16, 2023

I turned seventy this year and celebrated by playing poker tournaments in Vegas. I play three or four or five online tournaments each week, two or three on my monthly weekends in New Hampshire, and every month or month and a half I drive down to Foxwoods for one.
