doublemeup 0 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I dont see this as a HUGE deal. Anyone who compares this to what Sorel did is a moron. Yes, both are against the rules but it does not give someone an unfair advantage over the rest of the competition. I think Baxter said about how he felt hes grown as a person and a player since he started playing at age 15. As for myself, I started playing when I was 14 and definitely agree. I've learned how this game can change anyone. The nicest people you'll ever meet can become whiney 12 year old girls or douchebags. Unfortunately there are a ton of negatives to playing underage. I dont want to get into all the specifics but I know personally people who take their paycheck and put it into online poker and go busto time and time again. When any of my friends ask if they should play online poker, I tell them not to. If I had to do it all over again, I'm not so sure I would play poker. While there are definitely a lot of positives, there are certainly a lot of negatives. It takes a certain type of person to be able to handle everything you'll go when playing underage and most people aren't cut out for it. You don't hear about all the underage players that lose money but I guess that goes for any age. Link to post Share on other sites

Can I get you a beer or light your J for you?I hate that poker gets singled out, but if it's tennis, gymnastics, golf, etc... it's fine for kids to drop everything and pursue a career.It shouldn't be for tennis, gymnastics, golf, or anything else either. I was fortunate enough to train with a number of very good junior tennis players, and for most of us it consumed our lives. Only one of us is making a living in the game, and she's doing it as a coach in a country club somewhere. Most of us stopped playing competitively after 18, effectively making all those hours on the court and all those dollars our parents threw at the game a complete waste.For every Venus/Serena Williams or Andre Agassi there are 1000 stories where the kid would have been happier doing something else and never plays again. I fear that this younger generation of online poker players are going to see the same thing - hours spent in front a computer trying to figure out the best way to play AQ in early position with dreams of becoming television superstars when they should be studying, trying to get laid, or just generally doing stupid kid stuff cruising around with their friends. For every Annette/Andy McLeod there are 1000 kids who are long-term losers at the game, or at best marginal winners who could be out doing something else with their youth.

blakheart 3 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I am in deep crap if anyone finds out my secret. Don't tell anyone, but when I am in a MTT tourney and I have to leave for a minute, I have my 12 year old son take over for me. He plays a little fast, but it is great for my image. Then I jump back in and finish the tourney. Link to post Share on other sites
