I think there's a reason the best/highest-stakes players on this site are usually under 25.

1. They have more leisure time to learn the game.
2. They usually have fewer financial responsibilities, so they can commit to building their bankroll instead of paying off debts.
3. They are usually not entrenched in a job, so they can afford to take a chance by playing pro poker.
4. They often learn poker while still in school or right after finishing--they are ripe to learn from book/forum study.
