I started playing poker in the reading room at university in 1972, before Chris Moneymaker was born.  My mother was a very good poker player...in fact, she went into labour while playing poker with her friends, so I was born right after a poker game.  You might say that my love for poker is genetic, but it came gradually.  My early days in Las Vegas, I played mainly blackjack, with some craps...they are too expensive today...and playing against the HOUSE is usually a losing proposition...playing poker against other players of varying skill levels allows me to play longer...for me, it's not about the money because I don't play large enough stakes to make a difference in my life...I play to WIN...at 5'1", I loved sports, but could not compete at higher levels, since my size was always a disadvantage...except for high school wrestling.  I can't beat Tiger Woods in golf, can't win a tennis match against Roger Federer, can't hit a 100 mph fastball for a homerun, definitely would not fare very well in MMA...but, I can compete with top poker pros, as I did in the 2019 WSOP Colossus event, where I survived into Day 2 and cashed...I outlasted several pros.
How could you not love a competition that always gives you a fighting chance?
