You can start at any age.
Poker is mainly a game of strategy, and luck of cards.
The only real physical thing about it, can be endurance, ie: do you tire easily after long periods.
You don't have to be a professional athlete to play poker. If you're alert, cunning, patient, and short-term durable, you shouldn't have any trouble.

I started in the world of poker about 3 months ago and based on freerolls, raffles and tickets, I was able to build a bankroll of $ 60. Now, I plan to continue like this until I have a budget of $ 500 or more and start this adventure. But I'm worried about age and if it's too late. I don't know what it will be like in poker but I do know that in other disciplines such as basketball or football you have to start very young to go far. I am currently 25 years old. What do you think?
poker is good that there is no age, but the fear of getting old is immense, that's why health and youth are really good... the elixir of beautiful life! so you can start anything and whatever you want whenever you want.....

Hi Ozy, there is hope for you yet. I started a little younger than you back in the early eighties, but not by much. Poker is not a contact sport and doesn't require great physical prowess but being able to stay alert and focused is paramount to success. In other words, get plenty of rest. At the age of 59, six years ago, I bought into a site for $25 and have run it up to over $15,000. That's more than a 600% return on my investment. I did it by playing mostly triple-up SNGs. I currently make as much, and sometimes more, than I do from my social security. It's a nice supplement and I don't wish to take it much farther than I have, though I might enter an occasional wsop. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky. I played professionally back in the later eighties and have no desire to return to that lifestyle. It basically takes three things to make it big in the world of poker: Aptitude, motivation and opportunity. Oh yeah, and a little luck never hurts.I started in the world of poker about 3 months ago and based on freerolls, raffles and tickets, I was able to build a bankroll of $ 60.
