Virtual Battle

I am a pretty observant person and I have noticed a lot of my close friends repeatedly asking themselves this same question; so I will make it a personal goal of mine to answer it as accurately as possible in this blog posting... Who would win in a UFC cage fight - the late 90's day trader or the present day internet poker player???

Agility

Advantage to the internet poker player no doubt. An upbringing of Starcraft, Warcraft, and Dune has our mouse speed off the charts. It is going to be tough to get a jab in on the generation who grew up on reaction-time developing video games.


Technique

Advantage late 90's day trader here. Those extra years on earth are invaluable when it comes to long term decision making and short term goals. A well paced fighter puts himself in a position to get lucky.

Stamina

Pretty close tie here. A few years of an idle existence in front of a computer screen will leave even the fittest of high school athletes puffing for any hope of oxygen 15 seconds into a heated fight.

Mental Strength

Advantage late 90's day trader on this one. You'd be surprised how motivated a man can get when he has a wife and kids to feed at home. While on the other hand, the internet poker player can be quite the unstable being at times.

Late Round Comeback (Clutch)

The internet poker player with a clear edge here. Training nearly every day to make those last minute decisions under pressure for the win. It is in our to blood to instinctively know when you have to put it alllll on the line.


I'd set the odds at 5:3 in favor of internet poker player
