Because of damage to my brain I almost died. No pity necessary, as most of it was in the line of duty as a Marine and a cop. That said, there were other factors, but the first 2 did the most. Getting back into poker is literally a medical treatment to help see where I am at emotionally and intelligence wise. My psychiatrist and I discuss how I am doing via talking poker games.

Before that, when I was younger, I was not a pro, but played more than average before the internet. I built a NICE bankroll with money I won over time while I was playing barracks games. I then went to a few places, some legal and some made it necessary to carry a pistol or two. This made me have the ability to eventually pay off my mother's house, travel all over, and have a pretty good life. I then gave it up to take care of my mother and sister. Now, I am back and starting from scratch. Hilariously, the thing I miss most are the games in back rooms where it was not uncommon to have threats heard that could be backed up. That was an element that made this adrenaline junkie have more fun.
