So, Recently i was hanging out with my grandma who has been going to the casinos and playing cards her whole life, when she told me how she was playin online play money poker games. I told her that the real money games were a lot different, but if she wanted i would transfer her some money to get her started and see what she can do. So as we all know the there is a pretty big difference between live games and playing online, so the transition has been a lil rough (hey its not easy for a 80yr old woman to change her game after a lifetime of playing live). Anyways, the MTT's usually go al lil long for her, and the micro stakes cash games she was doing ok in for a while, but still seemed to keep losing little by little, instead of increasing little by little. So i finally got her into 9 man SnG's and she seems to be doing a lil better. So my question is, how old are the oldest players online you guys know? My grandma is 80, anyone older?

Her betting is probably her biggest downfall and i've tried to tell her that, she calls too much when a raise is vital, etc..., BUT, she does make some calls that even i couldn't make that come through for her, she is one tough old lady lemme tell youOriginally Posted by bdubz9180

One of my Mom's friends' husband is well into his 80's and plays Stud games on stars maybe 2-3 hours a day. I wish I could remember his SN, something to do with a snake, maybe a cobra, it's in relation to his old military unit from WWII.
Anyway the guy is cool as fuck, we drink beers and talk poker whenver I visit my Mom, and I always bust his balls for short-stacking 10NL (I coached him on push/fold, and he has a pretty sick winrate at 10NL buying in for $2.) -
