blonde poker forum

Ok well the poll seems to agree with my viewpoint, that the younger the player the more likely they are to be fundamentally good. Of course this is a sweeping generalisation.

this is not strictly true- the poll reflects who you would rather not have at your table - according to the question  posed anyway, rather than the thread title anyway. And I may have put older folk because they can be "rocky" and in a cash game it is sooooo hard to get money out of them. Or it may be because all the more senior ladies and gents that i have played with recently have spent the whole time whinging and complaining ( all topics covered from  too hot , too cold noisy "kids", the food the weather people not playing properly etc) there are honourable exceptions to this of whom the doc in cardiff I would play with any day of the week.

Your point is exactly what? If you give me a bunch of rocks i will simply run them over and fold when i get heat whereas if I have bunch of fundamentally solid players I have a bunch of difficult decision. Younger players are more likely to be fundamentally solid, give me a bunch of older player any day of the week.

younger= fudamentally solid?- ure avin a larf arent you- middle group would get my vote here.  My reason was actuaally because oldies have irritated me recantly- simple as- my point -- well that was the thread title and the poll asked different questions

Yet alot of the young people coming into the game tend to be well educated as opposed to the past where the game had a seedy image and any university educated person playing poker would be an outcast. The game has alot of maths behind it and peoples mathematical ability is at its height in your early 20's.

Educated- maybe- although not in terms of poker etiquette, and in some cases general manners. As far as i am aware going to university does mean that you are good at maths- in fact it saddens me how many people are coming out of school unable to do even the simplest sums without the aid of a calculator

Lol wtf has poker etiqutte got to do with this arguement and im not sure what is like where you live. Yet i can tell from my personal experience in Nottingham that pre dt (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload)d (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload) we lived with a cheating culture which was mostly populated with an older age group. They were rude arrogant and at time Notts Gala was one of the natiest atmospheres in the UK, populated by an average of +40. Those who were under 30 generally had perfect table manners. As i said before though what has this got to do with skill/ability.

Like i said i was answer1ng the poll question rather than the thread title- i agree some oldies (and others) can be a right royal pain in the arse- however i was relating this to the educated comment- and pointing out that education comes in many forms. I despise rudeness (from anyone) more than anything at a table- this does however whooping in the face of people they have just knocked out/inflicted a bad beat on- happened to me after 13 1/2 hours play in the wsop main event this year, and at half three in the morning this stretched my sense of humour to the limit! (ps  this was not an oldie whooping I promise!)

Also younger people have often alot of experience online playing 1000's of hands and have access to forums, coaching tools etc. It is simply the truth that younger people are generally more savvy with the internet and therefore utilise it more. Therefore making up and often passing any experience an older person might have. The number of older players have chatted coming out with I never play on the internet as its rigged etc, seriously anyone who says that you can put down as a weaker player.

Oh come on! do you really think that only young people have this experience- Greg (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=561) Raymer (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=561) and action jack are 2 immediate examples of fairly successful (sic) not so young players who have thrived on the internet.  I have played a few hands online too... and am well into your middle catergory.  have spoken to plenty of younger players who will also swear blind that tinternet poker is sooo rigged

Congrats you have picked the two people against the rule, I can give you 100's of examples of the vice-versa. The average person who thinks internet poker is rigged is alot older than the person who thinks it isn't. We are talking generalistions not specifics anyway,  as I have clearly pointed out elsewhere in this thread.

 I cunningly included myself too- maybe I dont count? there may be a few more.... hmm probably lol Can an average person be older? More likely to be average  age i reckon Hehe.  the point is that non younger is very different to the older group- think that many who are not young have embraced all the changes in our game- certainly old- rather than older- playersmay have struggled with these changes
I cleverly made the poll so I was in the younger category, go me.

well done- did you need a calculator?? lol 

Yes my mathematics degree clearly left me a slave to my calculator and therefore incapable of making a crap joke.

  But you just went and did it anyway eh? Seriously do you think your background somewhat slants your view on the mathamatical abilities of the average undergraduate  (my ability to make extemely crap jokes has been unaffected by post school education and and current job...)
