Agree, when poker 1st started to get big, I was making about $100 a month in live games because all of the new kids didn't know anything about poker and I would always host a game. It was just so easy at 1st and now it's not much harder because I have been playing for about 5-10 more years than some of the kids I play against and they think they can just come in and catch cards and make a big profit.
A lot of young players are all talk, also. They talk about how much money they rake in and how good they are, but most of them really lose money and are really bad players. I used to be arrogant that I was better than most of my live games, but then I started playing for money online and realized that not everyone was so bad. Now I know better and am getting better.
