Yeah sorry $2500 buy in. Good luck for him.
We would actually prefer it if you did not come here defending yourself as you and your lot are usually right. Just leave us to talk bollocks to our hearts content and think we know everything
We don't come over to pha telling you stuff like "if you lost the hand you must have played it wrong", "you got it in good, what more can you do" or " there is no such thing as a bad fold, there are only bad calls".
Now get off to balling in Vegas whilst we all figure out where we are gonna get our next bankroll from

Yeah. I have noticed a sudden surge in old folks wanting to go and play at Dtd tonight. There is a direct correlation between that and team eureka being in Vegas. Soon as Dtd realise that them set of tossers are directly responsible for all the over lay and ban everyone of em the better. It's common knowledge that they all just sit in the cash games passing bags of sand between themselves and then sharing back out again once in the car park. Then once there is a comp on they go and ruin in it for us by taking the winnings too.
Up the age restriction at Dtd to at least 35 I say. And you can only play with your own money. It's far too easy to go playing aggressive and spunking off somebody else's money than your own. They don't realise they are taking the food out of my kids mouths everytime they crack my aces or bum my kings with Ax claiming its std. Wankers the whole lot of em

Poker was a much more enjoyable game with an older crowd. So much entertainment from crazy characters. You'd get some mad Greek chip shop owner stand up and start banging the table in rage, somebody else would crack a joke about his wife, everybody would fall about laughing and onto the next hand. Now the kids play their hands in super slow motion like a robot, all actions very deliberate and very slowwww, if you ask them a question they stare at the felt in silence. Then next hand is dealt and everybody returns to their ipad screens in silence. Too much staring too much silence from the average kid imo. Think it's part of the act to convince themselves of their 'talent'.
couldn't agree more, see loads of young kids who think they all have to sit there and take 10minutes over every hand to look good, it's a fucking game, get on with it!

I agree with everyone that most young players play in a tilting manner - too slow, too antisocial etc.
I'd argue that I'm not in either category, same with Mitch, Simon Deadman and lots of DTD regs.
If I was in a confrontational mood, I'd say that young people take more time over their decisions because they're thinking about lots of different factors (to do with the hand, not what their mum is going to make them for tea tonight).
I instantly label ppl that "snap" do things as fish
because it shows they're not considering other options which makes their range so much easier to assign / narrow.
Maybe you should take more time to consider other options
lol,
very good

to excel in poker you need to spend alot of time studying and devoting yourself to the game.
older (30-50) people dont have the luxury of having as much spare time. younger people are often students etc and have more time to devote and dont have families who get angry if they don't go to bed till 3am.
Yes. This is 100% true
The guys I really admire are the ones that get the balance right, they still have a desire to improve and obviously have good negotiating tekkers at home. They still find the time even though they have mouths to feed and are married.
I had a similar situation the other night to Kinboshi. When discussing Denmarks chances of winning the euros some kid opposite me who looked no more than 9 years old kindly told me that they won it 1992. I told him I watched it and remember it well. He said he hadn't been born yet.! Sigh.....
When at DTD last night a transvision vamp song came on and I said ahhh cool song. All the kids surrounding me on the table just gave me this blank stare as if to say 'transvision who?'
Seriously. Transvision who?
