As patience and discipline are key factors in poker, i guess the more mature a person is, the better.
That cand be achieved at young age too, but usually it comes with age and experience.

There isnt any age, but when you get some experience it plays on your favor.

The younger the better, preferably 5+ years of age. At 18 you would have 13 yrs of experience compared to an 18 yr old playing for the first time. Experience is more important than age although some people never learn no matter how long they play.

It seems to me that the best age to play poker is 30 years old, when you and your knowledge and mental toughness have formed

I believe that poker, like chess, does not require a specific age to play it

Is it better for a young person to play poker, or is it irrelevant?
I think that young people adapt more quickly to demanding situations, while we older people rely on our experience, which is not always winning.

Any age over 16 … the main idea is to be an equilibrated person and if you like to play poker play with ur money and don’t overdo it

I believe that if you want to, there is no specific age to start.

I started playing quite a long time ago, and am still learning, so I would say the earlier the better, like 19-21?

I think that age is not important beyond the duty to be responsible, that is to say at least being over 18 years old.
Experts say that it is very difficult to be a professional poker player beyond 3-5 years , due to several factors, tiredness, level rise, etc... This is important to keep in mind, but above all, the most important thing for me is not to think about it, you play, study, etc...

Age in poker doesn't matter at all.

age doesnt matter if you are going to play freerolls only , but if you are going to deposit money you have to be over 18 so you are responsible for what you doing

There isn't a specific best age to play poker. Legal age restrictions vary by location, but it's more about having the necessary maturity to understand the game and handle the risks involved.

I will say 101 years old because of the long experience you will have, but it seems no one hits that age...

Any age is best for playing poker, maybe at chess age could be a problem, but at poker i don't think so.

It seems to me that the mental exercise that poker provides will be useful at any age. Great game for all ages.But with old age, the performance of brain cells decreases, they say. Chess players also don’t play until they retire; chess is rapidly getting younger.I think you should start playing seriously at the age of 18-19, play seriously until 35-40, then just for fun. Yes, everything is like in sports.

Age doesn't matter, sometimes a young person is more organized than a fifty-year-old.

It is better to start when there is such an opportunity. I think if I had started playing at the age of 18, I would definitely be a pretty successful player now. But I started quite late, I started playing when I was already 47 years old.

I believe that physical age does not matter, but mental age does. If you have a healthy mind and have managed to expand your skills more and more, it is the ideal age.

I think you can play from the age of 18, when you're a little ripe
