Am i too old?
Hello everybody! Been playing for 3 years on and off, I'm a very big slacker and a waste of skin most of the time. I'm 23 going on 24 In half year. I can maybe get 150$ to play 02 05c plo on stars, I'm not qualified mentally to play any lower. I can beat 25 50c with a large roll probably at a decent winrate, maybe more than decent if i stopped bluffing, but i tend to dump money when I'm tilted, so I'm in this situation. I can play 6 tables of regular, 4 of zoom pretty focused for long long hours and i don't get tired, unless i get bored. Should i just straight away give up or worth trying to make a living from this PLO thing? Honest and brutal opinions are welcome.
If someone suggest i should give it one last whirl or call it quits, and that someone has some experience, what should be my plan of action, tight is right? or loose and induce variance. I have no idea which style beats micro harder and more consistently since i don't really have any large data recorded.

Take that $150, go out and get good and drunk, and forget all about PLO. At least for a while. :-)
What do you mean at least for a while? :)
Honest and brutal opinions are welcome.
I gotttttto say , flipping is fun too :D
23 too old - LOL
Well brain kinda stops developing so I feel a bit stupid for being stuck so long, I also don't know if this feeling I get that "Yeah, I can do it!" isn't just some delusion. And I'm not refreshing pages every minute, it just so happens I came back from my morning walk. But thanks Mike, that LOL gave me confidence!
well i am 44 and i feel like i have gotten better at poker every year for the past 10 years and believe i can keep this up for a long time if i continue to put in the work
Brutal opinion. If you are 23 and can only "maybe get $150" and you aren't finishing college then you need to to stop worrying about poker and find yourself a job/career. Poker is a lot more fun when you aren't relying on it for a steady income.
Within reason, you are never too old to do anything. We are all capable of doing amazing things, no matter our age. :-)
Here is a very good blog entry from a guy who bloomed late in poker:
Finishing Lines
That blog entry was really inspiring. Thanx Zenfis!
23 too old? :) I'm turning 36 and still want to give poker a go at some point (after money isn't too important vs responsibilities).
I'm 13 and already feel too old! :)
