Started the game at 15.

Learned the game at 16.

I was always astounded at how crappy people played when I was in college and at home games. Truth is, I was not that good either. I got good later, along with the rest f the universe.

I prefer B+M to online, but play quite a bit online, NL only and seldom in tournaments.

After three decades, when has it been most enjoyable? Definitely now. I have the money to play at the limits where the skill level is very good, so it's a rush. And...if I get crushed in a session, it's meaningless. When was I best at the game? Definitely now. Experience really does count even if you do have a Stu Unger IQ at age 18. The younger guys are definitely better in the longer sessions. Stay in shape if you are going to park your butt in a B+M game for any length of time.

Now that I've seen what Doyle can do, I'm looking forward to retirement.
