Looking like my guess at median age was pretty accurate.

30-34 master age

Wonder if there is anyone in my age range that also joined 2+2 in 2005 lol

Damnit I forgot about Hobbes, do we know if he passed away or just inactive at the moment? I know Danspartan, Micro, and Suzzer are in the 50+ category, Swanky too I think.

It was confirmed he passed away, sadly. suzzer’s post about it

Pretty sure I joined in 2007, but it could have been 2006. Discovering stuff like stoxpoker really blew my mind - there were a few ripped copies of some like $2/4 LHE vids on some Vimeo-like site that I must have watched a dozen times each.

Also would not have guessed that I’m among the youngest posters here. Now you all have lost any excuse for being wrong so often.

I am 32 in a few weeks, science willing. God it already feels old. I dont even wanna know how I’ll feel in 20 years

Well, I might be slightly older than you, but at best you’re 1/3 in your guesses.

Awful news but am grateful to have the update. One of my favorite professors from pharmacy school and a minor legend (mostly of his own making) in the field also passed away at the end of the year.

Yeah, the FSD raise concept lost a lot of people in the low stakes forum a lot of money I think just due to not applying it well. Lots of people putting in a FSD raise on the turn with middle pair or like bottom pair and gutter on a drawy board and then never ever folding to a 3bet and river bet.

Sigh. I miss poker.

The FSD can work in NL as well, but the plan there is more for bluff equity.

So is 37 the median age then? Nice, just hit that in September. Was 21 sitting at home on christmas break watching WSOP re-runs, thinking it would be fun to try. Read some articles online, tried the free money sites, and realized pretty quickly that free-money wasn’t any sort of actual competition. Then I remembered I was 21 and lived 30 minutes from a casino. I went that night, and the rest was history.

We should do this poll again next January, predicting we’ll be a year older on average

Makes sense, it probably took the olds longer to connect through their AOL accounts

Better looking. More athletic. Less conservative. Better pop culture taste.
