Poker is in my DNA...I was born after an all-nighter...my mother's water broke while playing poker.  I practically came out of her womb holding a straight flush.  But I never had dreams of being a poker pro.  I knew I didn't have the discipline and drive.  Now, in retirement, I enjoy poker as entertainment, usually on vacation when playing live poker.
What I like about poker as a competition is that, at 5'1", I could not compete in sports I love at a high level...I could never beat Roger Federer at tennis, would never beat Tiger Woods in golf, can't hit a 100 mph fastball or hit a 100 mph slapshot to beat an NHL goalie...what I can do, on the short run, is compete in the odd hand and win against top poker pros...and I have done exactly that at the 2019 WSOP Colossus...22,000 entries, and I was able to make it to Day 2, finishing in 1560th position and cashed, beating quite a few pros along the way.  Richard Seymour, 3 time Super Bowl champion with New England Patriots and 5 time all-pro defensive lineman, who now plays pro poker tournaments, and does quite well, was kind enough to double me up on Day 2...didn't help that much, as I was out about a half hour later...but what a rush.  The money was inconsequential.
