I think Mr. Spock from Star Trek would find some of you stiff.

Being stiff is not logical.

I turn 18 on Tuesday, and I plan on poppin' my Internet cherry that day. One thing I don't plan on doing is making a deposit. I'll set up a Neteller thing, but I'm going to concentrate on trying to get a freeroll win in. If I don't do that, I don't do that.

What would happen if you trained a kid how to play from a young age? Would he become world class or a junkie? Is it all genetics?

Probably both.

A guy in Hungary did this with chess and his daughters. Two of them, Judit Polgar and Susan Polgar, became grandmasters--in fact, Judit is consistantly in the world's top 10--and the third, Zsofia Polgar, became an international master (the first step below GM). Of course, you need a ton of practice to get that much success. If you trained a kid from an early age to be a poker player, I doubt he'd/she'd have a well-rounded personality.

Are you implying that the top level poker pros like Hellmuth and Matasow *DO* Have good well-rounded personalities? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Sounds like a child trained from birth would end up about like that... entitlement a-holes.

The game will cap. The market will burst... And were all going to hell.

Just like Microsoft went belly-up a few years ago, along with all those Windows software developers, when the growth in the home computer market slowed way down, right?

Sure, if the growth slows down, some people will be hurt. I think those who depend on rakeback will suffer first. But the whole thing isn't going to collapse.
