I'll just like to add more, I used to play a lot of chess, and had deep thoughts about it, my relation to it and the chess world , the history of chess and contributing to that history etc, long lines indeed, so some people may have similar thoughts about poker, in general I have always wanted to give back to chess , but as I was gearing up for a big thrust in that direction, I met poker and it's been a steep upward curve ever since with no upper limit in sight, chess is hard, and the want to view from perspectives , add ideas, leave a mark to help and inspire others is great, however poker is easier imo, and same goals are possible, but with higher fiscal returns

.
maybe I'm just waffling, but each will have their own desires and reasons for playing, my main point I guess is like anything, there are many ways to view or understand something, and if at the end of the day you find something more productive, then do that

. .. until then , shuffle up and deal
