playing multiple games i sometimes, not often but sometimes forget and play the wrong game for awhile or even to the end.
much of it comes from not having the same desire to win as i did years back as the money or just winning doesnt mean much. poker is still as much fun but the outcome doesnt matter too much.
I agree. I think the reason young people think older people aren't good at poker is because they have mentally atrophied, but I think the emotional desire to win is as much the reason.
10 years ago I wanted to crush every living person at the table, make them go home and cry. I wanted to force the pros to have to quit and get a real job. I wanted wives to get into fights with their husbands for losing money. In essence, I wanted to destroy everyone completely.
Now, I'm totally nice and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to anyone else. Live and let live. I still try to take their money, but don't care for the suffering.
