I believe that there is no correct age for starting poker.
As proof of this I have seen people of various ages being winners, so it does not matter.
But as for being profitable it is necessary to study and build experience, just like any other work.

Don't worry about your age. You still can learn it. 30 is also not so old in my opinion, maybe because I am so old already. 
But I actually also believe that you also have an advantage about being some older, because the tilt factor doesn't kick so much in like with younger players. You will be probably more relaxed and calm about your games.
I wish you good luck with your new experiences in poker!

Hello everyone. I started playing last year and since i believe i have grown much. I am no longer a fish , I've become a smaller fish
Honestly a like playing so much that i would put in the hours to make an additional income from poker. The problem is that all the information is scattered and it's difficult to put everything into a proper order. The problems is: is it too late to try to become a serious player? How long does it usually take to become a profitable player?
Thanks in advance for your replies and advises.
It's a bit harder and will require a bit more studying and analysis to be as profitable as you would be 8 years ago, but I don't see online poker dying for 25 years, and by then, I think VR Poker rooms will be pretty insane.

In order to bring yourself closer to real poker wins, you need to work. How soon you start winning will be influenced by many factors:
how much time you play;
how much time you spend studying poker articles;
quality of training material;
your mental abilities;
how fast you can learn;
those limits you are currently playing.
That is why it is impossible to unambiguously answer the question, how soon will you start winning. All people are different, with different abilities and a different approach to learning.

I have had the opportunity to play with Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer at a card room in Daytona. Both said that the TV coverage of their final tables was highly edited.
I think it was Raymer who said cut-aways to his wife's reactions was sometimes laughable because they showed her reacting to hands when she was not even in the room. Both players said closeups of the players were sometimes confusing because they might be reacting to the other players reaction which was not seen on the TV.

Young people have an advantage over older players in this game, for a couple of reasons.
1. They have boundless energy, while we old folk tend to get cranky when we stay up past our normal bedtime. Young kids can play all day and night, and the good ones generally do. It's all they know. Older people have fuller lives with other responsibilities such as family or mortgage.
2. Younger players have a huge advantage when it comes to accepting and taking on risk. Older players tend to be more conservative with their money, since it took them a long time to earn it, and they want to keep it, not blow it all. Younger players don't have huge nest eggs, they're looking to build one instead. This allows them to risk everything they have, if need be... they're much more willing to take chances to make that big life-changing score.
This is why almost every poker tournament you watch ends up with 8 younger kids at the final table and very few older people.
It really just depends what your goals are. If your goal is to enjoy the greatest thinking game there is, then you'll do just fine. But if your goal is to make money and "live the dream", well... I'd say good luck, but don't get your hopes too high.
I'm an older person and I play for the love of the game, I've never played it for the love of money. I wouldn't turn down a big score of course if it ever happens, but I don't sit around daydreaming about it.

It's never too late, for anything, including poker. If you love playing poker, and it fulfills you, go ahead. The most important thing is to do what you love. And when you do what you love, there is always a reward for it. Just keep enjoying poker, and enjoy what's coming.

I believe that age is not relevant. you will need to have a lot of time to learn all the basic about the game. your inteligence will tell how fast you can do it and your expirience on the table will increse the learning process.
the real deal is to know what the minimum age to start to learn about poker. Since is a gambling game and can be addictive as I already think i am in.
