[b]average age of online poker player[/b]

So I read the previous posts on the forum regarding this and they cracked me up. Either I'm getting old or the young'uns are laughably arrogant in their ideas that the average age is 22-25 which seems to be the majority consensus. Listen up newb(ab)ies, poker was being played long before you were a twinkle in your father's father's father's grandfather's eye. And its not just the young who have "computer skills" either. I read the results of a survey which seemed much more likely to me, which stated that the average online player is male and 35. I work with guys in their 50's who are avid players, and I'm certain there's dudes far older than this who enjoy a whiskey, cigar, and game of a weekend. The average age in time is for sure guaranteed to rise, as the "poker boom" 'ers age. And what comes with age? Experience. I for one am looking at poker as a way to support my pension. I can't freakin wait matey! It makes me laugh that everyone hails the "new generation" of "up n'comers". Sure, they might have a lot of experience cos they've been computter savvy since knee high and were playing illegally before coming of age. But its not the "young mind" that assures their success, in poker the thing I, for one, value and respect is experience (partnered with intelligence). I'm 37 btw.
