Re: 18 Months of poker and what i have learned

There's also the fact that kids have more free time to devote to playing and learning. There are probably lots of 30-year-old+ players who have the talent and ability to become successful high-stakes poker players, but don't have the 1-2 years to devote all their time towards doing it. Kids under 25 have the best opportunity to flourish at poker, and it just happens that there are a good amount of really smart kids under 25 that visit this site. If those guys miss out on poker before reaching 30, I doubt they end up where they are now.

this is somewhat true of course for many situations...however, i have all the free-time in the world to devote to poker and I still suck.
there are many others out there like me.
It still takes a great deal of skill and discipline. Just because you have the time to devote to it doesn't make it easy.
Lots of college students have some advantages here....but most college students suck as much (if not moreso) at poker as anyone else.
