I used to love playing Texas Hold 'Em. With friends, poker nights with others, on apps, you name it. For a lot of the reasons you detailed above. At some point, I guess I just decided to free up the limited room in my brain for other things and now I'm intimidated to try and jump back in. Unpolished and forgotten. This post reminded me of a thing I enjoyed and didn't realize that I miss.
Great story! Keep us updated with what happens on the table.

Hope your opponents don't read your Substack. You never know...
Do great! We are cheering you on! Can we watch this anywhere?
Cool - hope you win big! 💰
Where can we watch it??

I hope you win it all.
Good luck! Hope you get hit with the deck. Can't watch to watch!
Awesome story. Yeah, those sharks bite.
