If you are 35+ you are probably a fish right?

Being over 35 doesn't make you old.

i have never in my life thought "this old guy sat down must be terrrible" but i guarantee plenty of older players have sat with me and thought "this young kid thinks he knows everything doesn't realise I way playing poker before he came out of his dad's cock" (an actual quote i heard last week lol) when in actual fact I was very likely showing him a lot of respect.

Some of the people I have the most respect for in poker, (Stu Barnett, Julian Garder, Ben Roberts etc) are all over 30 and I'm sure if you asked any of them they'd say most of the younger guys show them a lot of respect (with good reason) obviously there are a few young upstarts about with ego's above their station but there are those in every demographic. I struggle to respect the games of older players who don't play the game as well and spend half their energy complaining that the younger guys don't respect them - got nothing whatsoever to do with their age and nothing personal AT ALL I just don't rate the way they approach or play the game.

I might be younger (although even I'm becoming more old-school nowadays lol) but I spent a LOT of time and work on all aspects of poker and have had a lot of successes and failures just like anyone else, if you're not going to respect me for that I will struggle to reciprocate.

I remember sitting down at a table in my late 20's (I'm 42) and some old bloke says "I guess you are one of these new internet kids huh?" lol
