Message: [QUOTE="SPANKYSN, post: 7217286, member: 25718"] Emily, I totally get it in terms of competition. As a kid, I played sports all day on the weekends while there was enough light to see, played high school football and wrestling...as an adult standing only 5'1", I could not compete with athletes who were better physical specimens...I love tennis, and I have been involved in professional tennis as a line umpire (when they used real people in the 70s), but could I compete with Roger Federer? No...could I beat Tiger in golf? No...but I have a chance against anybody in the world (over the short haul) in poker. It is not the money for me. I competed in the 2019 WSOP Colossus event with the Cardschat team, and I survived into Day 2 and cashed...I outlasted many pros in the 22,000 player field...the excitement was palpable...that's what poker is about. Very few will ever make enough money playing poker to earn a living at it...for most, it is entertainment. [/QUOTE]
