Excellent post. Thanks for sharing your story.

I love this forum. Talking as someone who only started playing poker a few months ago and still has a LONG way to go to even master the basics, it's a privilege to be amongst a lot of good players who are willing, and able, to share their knowledge and experience. But I've always been uneasily aware that we hear way too much from the winners and not nearly enough from those for whom poker has not been quite the bed of roses that we'd all like it to be.

Thanks again, OP. Sincere best wishes in your new career.
