Do you view poker as a lifelong hobby that you will still be playing in your old age, or is it just a phase you will eventually walk away from?🤔 From my viewpoint I intend to play for as long as I live🫡

Yes, it is entirely possible to play poker at age 70 or older. Even in your senior years, decision-making, strategy, and the ability to read opponents do not disappear with the passage of time. If your neurons remain healthy and active, it is certainly possible!

Well since I’ll be 70 in 8 years, (damn I’m old lol) hell yeah I’ll still be playing. Been playing casino poker for 30 years now so I want to play until I die. I love poker, it’s such a great challenge and so much fun when I can cash. Definitely a life long hobby for me! Good luck!

Well I certainly hope so since that day is just 4 months away!

BTW, you may feel differently about 70 being old age when you actually get there. 😀

I think my best time to play will be after my 60th birthday.

Same here as long as I’m enjoying the game and feel motivated enough to play it for many years!

To be honest, I haven't really thought about it. I don't know how the rest of my life will turn out, but I plan to keep playing poker as long as I have the chance. 🤔

Haha, 70 and still at the tables—that’s awesome! 😄 30 years of playing says a lot about how much you love the game. I hope I’m still playing and enjoying poker that much when I get there. Keep playing and good luck at the tables! 🃏♠️

Haha, fair point! 😄 I guess I’ll have to wait until I get there before I can call 70 old. And 4 months away means you’re almost there—early happy birthday! Hope you celebrate it with a big poker win! 🥳♠️

Absolutely. I play for fun and I still earn some change. I intend to continue for the next few decades.

In five years I will turn 70, first God give me a lot of life, I will continue to play, depending on my physical and mental capacity I will play for years to come.

I learned poker around my 70s and I still enjoy playing from time to time. My peak was at 74 years old.
