WSOP Open it Up to All Ages

wsop is won by newcomers on the scene every year...
So much for how great the name players are...
If they opened up tournament to all ages.. A 12 year old could win it..
Poker is not chess where the world champion can repeat or play at highest levels in all tournaments.
Poker is 50% luck. You run hot anyone can win...
So I don't listen to poker experts... A 12 year old kid could beat you and would if allowed to play..

it's funny that you chose 12 years old, because that is the age my son was when he won his first ticket on FullTilt. He played in a 360 player tourney with the first 2 places getting tickets to the weekly $2000 tournament. We were both proud of the fact he played against much older, and supposedly wiser opponents, and won. Yes, there is much more luck to poker than chess. Millions of players can tell you tales of woe about how the most stupid plays ended up being successful and knocking out better players.
