I've been playing poker for 10 years. I love this game. I'm playing for fun. I'm planning on playing for many more years. But the question is: How many years can you play at a high level with good results? There are only a few examples. Like Brunson. What do you think?

Honestly it depends on each person and IMO it has a lot to do with 2 things: the mental health and the money... in theory, if you have a good mental poker game and a good bankroll management you can play poker(both live and online) for as long as you want and/or enjoy your time at the tables...

I agree with your answer

At a high level, you can play poker for a long time until you run out of money.

Poker is life, with responsibility there is no age! It's clear over 18.

I've been playing for about 16 years. Simple answer to your question. It's not too old for you to be having fun and comfortable with your game. Just like a wedding... as long as you're happy you're fine.

I have been playing poker for over 11 years. The game brings me pleasure and money. My results are quite good, but nevertheless I work every day and try to perfect my game, develop my patience and discipline. I think that poker is a game in which there is no limit to improvement.

I don't think there is an age limit to many things in life as a lot of people think there is, it's just an individual thing as long as you're healthy and the mind is active then it's up to you!

There is no age limit, if you're lucky enough to have your mind in good health, and body in reasonable health.

Age means nothing.
Its health that matters.
Stay healthly=live/last longer.

As long as the mind is sharp age does not matter. In most people the body starts to break down long before the mind. :unsure: What did I just say. :D

in general I'd say it's comparable to chess, very highest level up to mid 40s when you start losing stamina and can't play very long sessions with A/B game anymore. But as in chess you can play at a very decent level until you're like 60-70

I think you can play even until you're old, it's just a different question whether you'll have the same interest in poker in the future that's the question I think for many

Poker is a mental game, not a physical one. Therefore, it can be played as long as the person is sane.

I believe that up to 55-60 years old you can play without losing your level of play

I don't think there is an age to say 'I have reached the maximum age to retire'; so everything will depend on being in your right mind to continue playing with all that accumulated experience.

Depends on a person. I do not think there is a general hard cap.

Alot of players are starting to get older and they are still playing at a high level. I think you could play at a high level up until between 65 and 68 years of age.
