young poker players

how old do you think you should be to play poker in tourneys, I think I'm pretty good when I set my mind to it and I'm 16, like when I play online poker I usually get to the final table 8 out of 10 times, is that good, or bad. and what are your thoughts on teens and poker?

hey if your making it to the final table that much, you need to be playing poker, wow imagine how good you will be 10 years from now.

It's because online poker is rigged to favor younger players because then they have that much more time to rake your money.

16? So, play money tables I assume? Can't judge much off that, and also, would still need a bit more hard evidence to give any type of opinion on your play. But on the issue of teen poker players, I don't really have problems with teenagers playing poker. I think playing poker is a lot more stimulating for the mind than sitting on the couch playing video games like lots of teenagers nowadays do.

I think there are a lot more older folks nowadays playing video games. It's a guy thing. lol

Yeah, whats wrong with videogames ....

Ok, maybe it is a guy thing in general. Never said there was anything wrong with it, just said that poker is a bit more stimulating than video games, in my opinion.

It's because online poker is rigged to favor younger players because then they have that much more time to rake your money.

NO its rigged to generate a higher rake for the poker site, its so obvious there is no argurment about it, you must work for one of these sites cause your sure are hell bent on thinking its not rigged, when bamm its right there in your face. when a site if busting out straights, flushes, 4 of a kind every other hand, one has to scratch thier head and go wait a minute here something not right about this picture.

LOL.......thanks, I needed that.

i tip them under the table so thank GOD im the one getting all of those monsters (on the river of course)

My tipping under the table button is rigged

is there any way to prove that I'm a decent player, I dont want to think I'm ok and it turn out its just a fluke or rigged??

LOL LOL LOL LOL


dude you are better then almost every pro in the world right now, since most pros don't even cash more then 50% of the time in tournaments which is why they play cash games also.


seriously if you are final tabling 8 out of 10 tournaments then you should quit school and go pro right now!!!!


maybe you meant you made final table 8 out of 10 times in sit and go's I believe that.

yeah of course, I cant play with real money right now, I usually play 90 player sit and go 250 buy in,

I was thinking the same thing. I don't want to call him a liar ... maybe he's bluffing!

well in play money and real money are 2 totally diffrent worlds! but if you can continue what you are doing in money tables when you can play! good luck at the tables!

so you are playing play money stuff then?

of course you are final tabling those sit and gos, hell all you have to do is sit out for 5 minutes and you are at final table.

also is the only difference between a sit and go and a tourney, the amount of players??

8 out of 10 final tables on play money games is NO indication of your talent. Go play some freerolls, and if your that good you will have a little bankroll to work on fairly quickly. There are Cardschat freerolls going on weekly, then take a shot at a real game, and be prepared to get your ass handed to you

ID suggest having a look and a read at the hand anyalsis section of this forum and try to learn the game and understand some of the concepts being discussed there, have a shot at answering a few yourself and youll soon find out what stage your game is at.

Oh yea, get a few books and study a little if you can afford it.

dont you have to have money to play free rolls??, and if not where do I sign up at

Freeroll = free play for real money

everytime I try to sign up for one of those on fulltilt it never lets me register, or is a free roll a tourney where you have to win regestration?

what are you doing playing poker at 16? i was doing a lot of things (a lot also illegal for 16 year olds) when i was that young, but they werent poker.

yeah if your that good also check out the freerolls! but if you get cought playing for real money! you will lose it all including your account! playing poker and not meeting the age requirements are serious business!

Thought u were 16 now joose?

im not afraid to hit a girl.

idk really, my parents tought me 5 card draw and black jack, and when I was 12 or 13, I was at a party poker with my parents and there was a $10 buy in for 60 bucks, so my mom gave me the money and I won and have been hooked every since.

also I hope that none of you think that I was lying or making things up about the final table thing, I was just trying to see if I was a decent poker player.

well you need to start keeping track of actual results somehow.

Joose are you threatening me?? Hey, don't think I wouldn't hit back.

so how do you get into the freerolls on this site?

i'm counting on that

so how do you get into the freerolls on this site?

You dont your under age, what you need to do is have your parents sign up under thier name, then you can play the free rolls, it would suck if you won and then could not get your money, so have your parents sign up and that way if you win they can receive a check and give you the money. Cause if any site finds out your 16 and they will cause you have to verify your age, they will keep the money and close your account.

thank you, I really dont care about the money, I just want to prove to myself that I can win a big tourney, but I dont want to lose my account so I'll have my parents sign up

Correct

Well, not exactly, this isn't the only difference between MTTs and SnGs; also the blind structure is different and possibly the payout structure percentages.
