My wife and I caught the poker bug a decade and a half ago. I did well in home games; she did much better than I in casino tourneys. I always found it thrilling (and nail-biting suspenseful) to be watching her play from the sidelines. Can't wait to see your episode!
I've seen you play poker on TV before and I remember the announcer/commentators saying that you play very logically. It must be hard to be logical when there is that much at stake and such great pressure and attention focused on you! I think it is fascinating that the human body can withstand that kind of pressure and anxiety for such long periods of time and still manage to function sufficiently enough to keep us alive, and even, in the best cases, to thrive. I don't know how you did it, but I think it's awesome. Did you feel pressured to be funny on top of it all? Or could you just focus on the game? Either way, I hope you'll let us know when it's out to watch, because I'd love to see it.
Thanks for sharing this experience. It is also good you took a photo. Recalling the experience can be a blur in these situations, but the photo helps put you right back.
Can’t wait to watch this eventually.
